Abstract
Tracheoesophageal fistulas (TEFs) are common in clinical practice and we address them in different ways according to their etiologies. Herein, we present a case of tracheomegaly combined with a TEF after long-term tracheotomy. We placed a modified silicone stent into the trachea to simultaneously cover the fistula and maintain an artificial airway for ventilation. After migration of the modified stent, we replaced it with a prolonged tracheotomy tube. This modified stent is a novel clinical attempt at addressing TEFs that should be more thoroughly explored.
