Endovascular stent-graft treatment in aortoesophageal fistula caused by foreign bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) caused by the ingestion of foreignbodiesis rare and often life threatening. We aim to summarize effective measures to improve the curative effect and survival rate. Case Reports: Between January 2010 and September 2015, three patients with AEF received endovascular stent-graft treatment in our hospital. Through the effective prevention of hemorrhage by stent-grafting, surgical repair of the esophageal rupture was performed successfully. All three cases were treated successfully and survived up to the day that this article was written. Comments: It may be safer to first perform an endovascular stent-graft to prevent hemorrhage in AEF.

We report a case of aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) caused by a fish bone that had a successful outcome. Aortoesophageal fistula is a rare complication of foreign body ingestion from which few patients survive. Over one hundred cases of AEF secondary to foreign body ingestion have been documented but only seven, including our case, have survived over 12 months. Treatment involved stabilising the ...

BACKGROUND Endovascular stent grafting is performed in patients with aneurysms of aorta or other major vessels. The procedure is considered to be generally safe, with a low risk of complications, the most common of which include endoleaks, stenosis or thrombosis at the stagraft and itsmigration. Very rare complications include aortoesophageal and aortobronchial fistulas (0.5-1.7% cases). CASE...
متن کاملSecondary aortoesophageal fistula after thoracic aortic aneurysm endovascular repair: literature review and new insights regarding the hypothesized mechanisms.
BACKGROUND Endovascular aortic repair was first performed nearly two decades ago and has become a well-established alternative therapy for many thoracoabdominal aortic diseases. Early survival results with the endovascular aortic repair were impressive, but it also brought many complications. Aortoesophageal fistula is little-known and may be underestimated because it is an unusual complication...
متن کاملSuccessful Endovascular Repair of Mycotic Aortic Pseudoaneurysm Followed by Aortoesophageal Fistula
Mycotic aneurysm of the aorta is a rare, but life-threatening pathology. In recent years, endovascular stent graft placement has been introduced as an effective alternative for treating infected aortic aneurysms. A 64-year-old woman with a history of paraplegia due to spinal cord injury was referred to our institute with fever and blood-tinged sputum. Computed tomography (CT) scan showed an 11-...
متن کاملSurgical approach for the treatment of aortoesophageal fistula combined with dual aortic aneurysms: a case report
Aortoesophageal fistula is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. The disease is with high mortality due to aneurysm rupture, and thus successfully managed cases are rarely reported. Here, we report a case of aortoesophageal fistula caused by a huge descending aneurysm and another smaller aneurysm found in the aortic arch. Such case was relatively rare in the cardiovascular field. Due to th...
