چکیده
Aorto-esophageal fistula is often a terminal event in many patients. The commonest causes are thoracic aortic aneurysm and esophageal malignancy. To achieve a good outcome in this condition, a MDT approach is required that combines the expertize of vascular surgeons, radiologists, and emergency physicians.

متن کاملIs it possible to treat aorto-esophageal fistula with endovascular management?
Management of aorto-esophageal fistula has no consensus, currently. Aorto-esophageal fistula remains a life-threatening condition and has high mortality and morbidity rates. Endovascular therapy is a favorable choice for thoracic aortic disease, in recent years. We present our experience initially managed with endovascular therapy, but there was a re-hemorrhage event with suboptimal results. Ao...

Aneurysms of aortic arch are rare but amenable to endovascular therapy. Arch aneurysm presenting with aorto-esophageal fistula and hematemesis is a feared, but relatively rare complication. The extrapolation of the safety and rapidity of emergent endovascular repair for bleeding arch aneurysms has been infrequently reported. A bovine arch anatomy confers distinct advantages for endovascular the...

Foreign body-induced aorto-oesophageal fistula is a rare cause of massive upper gastro-intestinal bleeding and, in the absence of a timely diagnosis and surgical intervention, can be fatal. During a period of 25 years, five patients with foreign body-induced aorto-oesophageal fistula underwent surgery in our department. Three patients survived. All survivors required more than one surgical inte...
متن کاملRobotic esophagectomy: the Moffitt Cancer Center experience.
The treatment of esophageal cancer is complex and labor intensive. It requires a multi-disciplinary approach and a cohesive team. Centralization of care and creation of centers of excellence with high esophageal surgical volume leads to improved outcomes (1,2). Our multi-disciplinary team at Moffitt Cancer Center reached a consensus in creating a treatment algorithm for esophageal cancer in ord...
