Fig. 1A.40-year-old woman with tracheoesophageal fistula resulting
from gunshot wound to neck. Single-contrast esophagogram obtained on
postoperative day 5 shows that contrast material is leaking into bronchi and
is outlining distal trachea. Anastomotic leak (black arrow) adjacent
to surgical drain is also visible. Metallic bullet fragments (white
arrows) are adjacent to leak.
