Abstract
- Aortoesophageal fistula induced by endoesophageal stent is rare;however,it is usually a fatal disorder,with few survivors reported.We report a case of a 32-year old female with aortoesophaeal fistula after insertion of the esophageal stent in esophageal lye stricture who was successfully diagnosed with endoscopy and treated in a two-stage operation.In the first stage,we performed esophagectomy,primary repair of the fistula site in the descending thoracic aorta,and feeding gastrostomy.After the patient recovered well postoperatively,a retrosternal interposition of the right colon and cervical esophago-colo-grastostomy were performed,to re-establish the gastrointestinal tract.
