Treatment of a thoracic aortic aneurysm-related aortoesophageal fistula

Abstract

In this article, we report a successful surgical treatment of an aortoesophageal fistula with aortic coarctation and a thoracic aortic aneurysm complicated with hemorrhagic shock and sepsis. The resection of the diseased segment of the thoracic aorta with further extra-anatomic reconstruction by axillo-aortic bypass from the left axillary artery to the infrarenal abdominal aorta and an esophageal stent implantation were performed.
