ABSTRACT
A 54-year-old man presenting with dysphagia was diagnosed with locally advanced oesophageal carcinoma with a broncho-oesophageal fistula (c-T4bN2M0 stage IVa). Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (60 Gy) was planned; however, bleeding from the oesophageal lesions progressed during chemoradiotherapy (16 Gy). Oesophagectomy with carinal resection and double-barrelled reconstruction was performed. Despite the inevitable recurrent nerve palsy and a minor fistula at the tracheal anastomosis, he recovered with conservative treatment and was discharged 4 months after the salvage surgery. He is alive without recurrence 28 months after the surgery.
