We present an unusual case of recurrent tracheoesophageal fistula after primary surgical repair of congenital esophageal atresia. Traditionally, this disorder has required open-surgical correction, but successful endoscopic closure of these fistulas has been reported. This case report describes our experience using fibrin glue, applied endoscopically in a 6-year-old child, with encouraging long-term results 4 years after treatment.
