Bronchogastric fistula successfully treated with the insertion of a covered bronchial stent.

We present what we believe to be the first case of a bronchogastric fistula successfully treated with a plastic-covered metallic bronchial stent. This developed 5 years after a transhiatal oesophagectomy with gastric pull-up for carcinoma of the oesophagus. The successful outcome in this case suggests that this method of treatment should be considered in patients in whom this post-operative complication cannot be managed easily by other means.

Bradyarrhythmias in acute myocardial infarction: should thrombolysis lower the decision threshold for temporary pacing?

Both acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion therapy with thrombolytic agents may be associated with bradyarrhythmias, and there may be a case for 'prophylactic' insertion of a temporary pacing wire in selected patients. We describe 4 patients in whom clinical decisions had to be made concerning the appropriateness and timing of temporary pacing, and discuss the implications for modern guidelines on the indications for pacing in such a setting.
