Abstract
A method for treating a tracheo-esophageal fistula. The method comprises the steps of augmenting the wall forming the esophagus in the vicinity of the fistula and placing a stent over the fistula in the esophagus so as to inhibit material traveling down the esophagus from passing into the trachea. The augmenting of the wall facilitates support of the stent in the esophagus so as to enhance isolation of the fistula.
