Abstract
Cardiac septal occluder (CSO) can be used endoscopically in treatment of tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF). We present a case of metastatic cervical cancer with direct tracheal invasion resulting in malignant TEF treated previously with radiotherapy and tracheal stenting twice. This TEF was closed by CSO - patent foramen ovale (PFO) occluder as palliative management to prevent recurrent aspiration pneumonia, decrease morbidity and improve quality of life.
