Successful thoracic endovascular aortic repair of an aortoesophageal fistula
Keyword(s):
We report three cases of aortoesophageal fistula (AEF), in which the patients remained free from catastrophic bleeding after endovascular stent-grafting. The three patients, who were not candidates for surgical repair because of their poor general condition and prognosis, underwent endovascular stent-grafting following the administration of antibiotics and were successfully managed; hemostasis was maintained for several months until their death. Although we did not find any conclusive evidence to support this strategy, our experiences suggest that endovascular stent-grafting of AEF is useful for maintaining hemodynamic stability.
