Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by esophageal right bronchial artery fistula: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundFistula between the esophagus and bronchial artery is an extremely rare and potentially life-threatening cause of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Here, we report a case of fistula formation between the esophagus and a nonaneurysmal right bronchial artery (RBA). CASE SUMMARY: An 80-year-old woman with previous left pneumonectomy and recent placement of an uncovered self-expandable metallic stent for esophageal adenocarcinoma was admitted due to hematemesis. Emergent computed tomography showed indirect signs of fistulization between the esophagus and a nonaneurysmal RBA, in the absence of active bleeding. Endoscopy revealed the esophageal stent correctly placed and a moderate amount of red blood within the stomach, in the absence of active bleeding or tumor ingrowth/overgrowth. After prompt multidisciplinary evaluation, a step-up approach was planned. The bleeding was successfully controlled by esophageal restenting followed by RBA embolization. No signs of rebleeding were observed and the patient was discharged home with stable hemoglobin level on postoperative day 7.
conclusionThis was a previously unreported case of an esophageal RBA fistula successfully managed by esophageal restenting followed by RBA embolization.
