Abstract
Over the past 15 years, endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy (EVS) has be come the main therapy for patients with bleeding esophageal varices. E VS has the advantage of a low associated mortality and morbidity, but may lead to serious complications. We report a case of esophagotrachea l fistula complicating sclerotherapy that resolved with nonsurgical ma nagement.
