| Core Tip |
This case demonstrates the successful resolution of a complex gastro-pleuro-broncho-cutaneous fistula using a staged endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) approach. Following failed surgical interventions, a sequential strategy involving initial percutaneous EVT followed by transluminal EVT was implemented. Concurrently, the bronchial defect was managed with argon plasma coagulation and a custom collagen-cellulose plug. This multidisciplinary technique achieved complete fistula closure and nutritional restoration, suggesting that staged EVT is a promising, organ-preserving salvage option for refractory, multi-system fistulas. |
