We describe the use of polyvinyl esophageal prosthetic tubes to treat 14 consecutive patients with malignant strictures and tracheoesophageal fistula from carcinoma of the esophagus. We found these prosthetic tubes easy to construct, simple to insert, and that their use improved the quality of remaining life in most patients by diminishing dysphagia and incessant coughing from pulmonary aspiration.
我们描述了使用聚乙烯食管假体管治疗14例连续性食管癌恶性狭窄及气管食管瘘患者的情况。我们发现这些假体管易于构建、插入简单，并且通过减轻吞咽困难和因肺吸入导致的持续咳嗽，其使用改善了大多数患者的剩余生活质量。
