विवरण
सारांश:An aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare and life-threatening situation, associated with aneurysms, foreign bodies, infiltrating tumors, and radiotherapy. The ideal management is unclear. Open surgery of AEF has a high mortality and morbidity. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) of an AEF is an effective and safe emergency treatment for these patients. We describe a case of AEF due to esophageal cancer successfully treated the first time by total percutaneous TEVAR (pTEVAR). A 70-year-old male patient presented with massive hematemesis at the emergency department. The patient had a known history of esophageal cancer previously treated by radiochemotherapy which was completed 3 days before. Emergency upper gastrointestinal endoscopy failed to stop the bleeding. Subsequent contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed an aorto-esophageal fistula and emergency pTEVAR was performed. The bleeding stopped directly after stent graft placement and the patient was discharged after 10 days later. He died 3 months after pTEVAR from cancer progression. pTEVAR is an effective and safe treatment option for AEF. It can be applied as a first-line treatment and offers the potential to improve survival in the emergency setting.
