Abstract
Gastrocardiac fistulae are an exceedingly rare complication following esophagectomy with gastric conduit pull up. Unsurprisingly, there is a significant ascribed mortality with the disease process, often only identified postmortem. We report a case of transdiaphragmatic fistula between the intraabdominal gastric conduit and the right ventricle and surgical management thereof.
