Double hitch stitch is a novel technique for fixation of tracheal stent in a case of tracheoesophageal fistula: a case report

Abstract Background Caudal tracheal stent migration can be potentially life threatening by causing distal luminal obstruction. We present a rare double hitch stitch procedure (for prevention of stent), which is an external fixation technique in case tracheoesophageal fistula with and esophageal self-expandable metallic (SEMS). Case presentation A 50-year-old male patient who presented cough dyspnea was known carcinoma the esophagus situ. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed (esophageal SEMS) migrating into trachea. Tracheal stenting done SEMS. Patient followed up after 1 month recurrent complaints on deglutition. On follow-up bronchoscopy, observed. performed (tracheal using percutaneous anchoring stitch, embedded subcutaneous tissue. Follow-up bronchoscopy no stent. Conclusion For treatment large fistula, both trachea along proved to lifesaving. Stent “double hitch-stitch” simple, safe, successful, without any complications.
