We describe an unprecedented, disastrous complication after bilateral lung transplantation (BLT), a bilateral bronchial dehiscence with a right bronchoesophageal fistula leading to life-threatening septic shock. We also report the successful endoscopic management of this complication by double stenting and stress the efficacy of the multidisciplinary approach to this critical case.
