Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="tri12561-abs-0001"> <title>Summary</title> <p>We describe an unprecedented, disastrous complication after bilateral lung transplantation (BLT), a bilateral bronchial dehiscence with a right bronchoesophageal fistula leading to life‐threatening septic shock. We also report the successful endoscopic management of this complication by double stenting and stress the efficacy of the multidisciplinary approach to this critical case.</p> </abstract>
