Endovascular stent-graft treatment for aortoesophageal fistula induced by an esophageal fishbone: Two cases report

Abstract: BACKGROUND Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) induced by esophageal fishbones is a rare complication of esophageal foreign bodies and is very difficult to treat. Although the current view suggests that endovascular stent-graft treatment is useful for AEF, whether a subsequent thoracic operation is necessary remains controversial. The purpose of this report is to describe our experience using endovascular stent-graft treatment without combined thoracic operations for the treatment of AEF in two specific… Show more

“…An esophageal foreign body firmly embedded in the wall is more likely to cause mucosal damage during the embedding and removal procedures. Improper or delayed treatment of refractory foreign body incarceration can lead to severe complications such as mediastinitis, aortoesophageal fistula, pneumothorax, and pericardial effusion (5)(6)(7)(8).…”
