Surgical management of aortoesophageal fistula caused by foreign bodies

Abstract: It might be a safer way to perform this surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. Thorough surgical debridement should be done, including resection of thoracic esophagus, adequate irrigation and flushing, and full draining of the chest cavity. Reconstruction of the digestive tract in the second stage of this two-stage operation should be the safest choice.

“…Las causas más frecuentes de ésta son primarias por causa aórtica o esofágica y corresponden al 99% de las fístulas: aneurismas de aorta torácica, ingesta de cuerpo extraño, neoplasia primaria de esófago y disección aórtica, entre otras 5,6 . Dentro de las primarias, la más frecuente es la erosión secundaria del esófago a un aneurisma de aorta torácica (52%) 5 .…”

“…Dependiendo de la causa, puede ser necesaria además cirugía de derivación (esofagostomía cervical, yeyunostomía de alimentación). A pesar de la alta letalidad de la patología y de los riesgos asociados a una intervención abierta se han descrito casos tratados exitosamente en la literatura 6,7 .…”

“…As a group, esophageal foreign bodies require early intervention (within 24 h) because of their potential to cause respiratory complications, esophageal erosions or, in the most extreme instances, aortoesophageal fistula [7]. Ingested button batteries that become lodged in the esophagus require still greater expedition of removal given the risk of corrosive tissue damage [3].…”
