Acute management of aortobronchial and aortoesophageal fistulas using thoracic endovascular aortic repair

Abstract: TEVAR does prevent immediate exsanguination in patients admitted with AEF and ABF, but after initial deployment of the endograft and control of the hemodynamic status, most patients, in particular those with AEF, are at risk for infectious complications. Early esophageal repair after TEVAR appears to improve the survival in case of AEF. Therefore, TEVAR may serve as a bridge to surgery in emergency cases of AEF with subsequent definitive open operative repair of the esophageal defect as soon as possible. In pa… Show more

“…Otro estudio, por Jonkers et al 19 , describe los resultados de reparación endovascular en 5 pacientes con FAB, 4 con FAE y uno con ambos. El éxito técnico inicial fue de 89%; de los dos pacientes restantes uno fue exitosamente tratado con una endoprótesis adicional 2 días después mientras que el otro falleció por ruptura aortica.…”

“…To prevent fatal hemorrhage, graft replacement of the aorta is usually performed, but emergency endovascular stent grafting may be used in a critically ill patient. 4 A variety of surgical methods may be applied for the treatment of esophageal fi stula. Simple aortic arch replacement without surgical intervention on the esophagus was reported, 5 but infection of the vascular graft is highly anticipated in such a situation.…”

“…In the English literature, however, a relatively low number of TEVAR for AEF/ABF is published to date, consisting primarily of single case reports or small case series with less than 12 patients. 17 In addition, most large international TEVAR trials do not include or mention this specific pathology [18][19][20][21] due to the important differences in treatment modalities and results compared with aneurysms. This may account for a considerable underestimation of the problem.…”
