Tokai J Exp Clin Med. 2023 Apr 20;48(1):38-41.

Abstract

Aortoesophageal fistula is a fatal disease that requires surgical treatment. Due to the patient's wishes, we chose medical treatment for aortoesophageal fistula after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for a pseudoaneurysm in the distal anastomotic site after total aortic arch replacement. Satisfactory early and long-term outcomes were obtained with complete fasting and appropriate antibiotics.
