A 78-year-old man presented with back pain and shock and was transferred to our hospital. Computed tomography showed a ruptured aortic dissection in which the false lumen was thrombosed with an ulcer-like projection, and the mid-esophagus was shifted to the right due to a mediastinal hematoma. He underwent emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair of the descending thoracic aorta. One week later, esophageal necrosis occurred, and he died of mediastinitis and sepsis on postoperative day 16. Although esophageal necrosis is a rare and fatal complication after thoracic endovascular aortic repair, a management strategy has not yet been established.
