| pubmed:abstractText |
Fistula formation between the esophagus and airway in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is extremely unusual. We report 2 cases, the first in a patient who did not undergo definitive surgical management and died shortly after diagnosis. The second patient was managed successfully for 5 months by insertion of a Celestin endoesophageal prosthesis. This procedure can be performed with low morbidity and mortality, and may become the treatment of choice for this complex problem.
