Abstract Background Caudal tracheal stent migration can be potentially life threatening by causing distal luminal obstruction. We present a rare double hitch stitch procedure (for prevention of migration of tracheal stent), which is an external fixation technique in a case of tracheoesophageal fistula with tracheal and esophageal self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS). Case presentation A 50-year-old male patient who presented with cough and dyspnea was a known case of carcinoma of the esophagus with esophageal stent in situ. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed tracheoesophageal fistula with esophageal stent (esophageal SEMS) migrating into the trachea. Tracheal stenting was done with SEMS. Patient was followed up after 1 month with recurrent complaints of cough on deglutition. On follow-up bronchoscopy, migration of stent was observed. A rare procedure of double hitch stitch was performed with fixation of the tracheal stent (tracheal SEMS) using a percutaneous anchoring stitch, embedded in the subcutaneous tissue. Follow-up bronchoscopy after 1 month of the procedure showed no migration of stent. Conclusion For the treatment of large tracheoesophageal fistula, stenting of both the trachea and the esophagus along with the double hitch stitch proved to be lifesaving. Stent migration prevention using “double hitch-stitch” is simple, safe, and successful, without any complications.

Abstract Background Tracheoesophageal fistula is a one of the most severe adverse events of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for esophageal carcinoma. Methods Case The patient was an 84-year-old man who was referred to our hospital due to dysphasia, which had persisted for 2 months. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy demonstrated a semicircular esophageal tumor. Biopsy revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Further examination revealed regional lymph-node metastasis but no distant metastasis. The clinical classification, according to the TNM 7th edition was T4b(trachea)N1M0 Stage IIIC. CRT (using cisplatin (CDDP)/5-fluorouracil (5-FU) infusion with concurrent radiotherapy) was performed. At two weeks after the initiation of CRT, the patient developed pneumonia due to tracheoesophageal fistula. The respiratory infection was controllable and the tumor remained after CRT. Tracheal stent insertion and esophageal stent insertion were performed sequentially as palliative treatments. Results There were no specific complications in association with stent insertion and the patient was successfully discharged from the hospital. Conclusion Tracheal and esophageal stent insertion are considered to be safe and feasible palliative treatments for tracheoesophageal fistula.
