The development of a malignant oesophago-respiratory fistula is a distressing situation which often leads to an early death. Dissatisfaction with the high levels of mortality and morbidity associated with the surgical bypass procedures, coupled with the failure of many of the oesophageal tubes, to completely occlude the fistula, has led to the development of a new cuffed tube (Wilson Cooke tube). This tube has the potential to not only relieve dysphagia but also to occlude the fistula without risk of pressure necrosis.
恶性食管气管瘘的发展是一种令人痛苦的情况，常常导致过早死亡。由于对与手术旁路手术相关的高死亡率和发病率不满，再加上许多食管管未能完全阻塞瘘管，促使了一种新型带套囊导管（威尔逊·库克导管）的研发。这种导管不仅有可能缓解吞咽困难，还能阻塞瘘管而无压力性坏死的风险。
