Esophagorespiratory fistula is a rare entity that occurs as a result of malignant and non-malignant causes. This condition is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Surgical repair has traditionally been the most common treatment and self-expandable metal stent are the first choice among non-surgical techniques. Here, we report a non-malignant bronchoesophageal fistula secondary to an esophageal diverticulum that was successfully closed using an over-the-scope clip.
