| Abstract |
Fistulae between the tracheobronchial tree and the gastric conduit post-esophagectomy are a rare but sometimes fatal complication. Clinical presentation can range from asymptomatic to acute pulmonary decompensation. Traditional management options, such as esophageal exclusion alone or combined with transthoracic fistula division, and closure (with tissue interposition), are highly invasive, technically difficult, and associated with variable success rates. This video presents closure of highly complex, chronic esophagobronchial fistula (EBF) using simultaneous bronchoscopic and upper endoscopic techniques. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 November 2014.
All research outputs
#15,310,081
of 22,770,070 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Endoscopy
#3,787
of 6,023 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#132,931
of 227,406 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Endoscopy
#100
of 156 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,770,070 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,023 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 227,406 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 156 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
