Therapeutic strategy for treating aortoesophageal fistulas

General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2014
The development fistulas between the thoracic aorta and the esophagus are highly fatal conditions. We aimed to identify a therapeutic strategy for treating aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) in this study, by investigating all AEF cases presented in this special symposium at the 65th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

Aortoesophageal fistula induced by foreign bodies

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1992
Two patients with aortoesophageal fistula induced by foreign bodies were surgically treated during a period of 10 years. The first patient was surgically treated through a right thoracotomy, which failed on account of exsanguination. In the second patient, a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube was inserted for esophageal tamponade.
