We treated a patient who had had postchemotherapeutic pulmonary metastases from urinary tract cancer by bronchial artery infusion (BAI) chemotherapy. Pulmonary lesions showed a 33.0% reduction after the treatment. However, esophago-bronchial fistula (EBF) occurred after the second BAI. The patient died of recurrent aspiration pneumonia and sepsis in the sequelae of the repair surgery. The fistula was considered to have resulted from an increase in the blood flow to the esophageal branch originating from the bronchial artery after the first BAI, which had consequently damaged the local tissue due to accumulation of anti-cancer drugs. In order to avoid these complications, the secondary change of blood flow should be examined precisely by preceding angiographical mapping, and the concentration and the infusion speed of the cytotoxic drugs, should be under adequate control.
