We report a case in which a traditional prosthesis failed to seal a malignant respiratory-esophageal fistula. Removal of the prosthesis and replacement with a new type with an inflatable cuff provided palliation, and allowed the patient to leave the hospital. The cuffed prosthesis provides a custom fit which should seal fistulous tracts of any shape or size, without causing tissue necrosis.
我们报告了一例传统假体未能封闭恶性呼吸食管瘘的病例。移除该假体并更换为带可充气袖带的新型假体后病情得到缓解，患者得以出院。带袖带的假体可根据具体情况定制，能够封闭任何形状和大小的瘘管，且不会导致组织坏死。
