ABSTRACT
Esophagopericardial fistula (EPF) is a rare and serious medical condition induced by benign and malignant causes. Surgery is the main stay of treatment for benign EPF. However, there have been few reports of benign EPF treated by endoscopic stent insertion. We performed a laparoscopic total gastrectomy for treatment of a gastric cancer located at the cardia in a 62-year-old patient. A benign EPF occurred as a postoperative complication 14 days after surgery. We successfully managed the EPF through emergent laparoscopic pericardial window formation and insertion of a fully covered self-expendable metal stent during operation. The patient is being followed up without complications in the outpatient department after stent removal.
