| Popis: |
Secondary aortoesophageal fistula is a relatively rare but very often lethal complication that may develop after thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR). The clinical syndrome is well explained by the Chiari triad: midthoracic pain and/or dysphagia, and sentinel minor hematemesis followed by massive hematemesis. The incidence of this serious complication has increased with the growing number of patients undergoing TEVAR. This case report describes a patient who was seen in the emergency department at this hospital because of fever, sepsis and thoracic pain radiating to the back and unresponsive to drug therapy, diagnosed with a secondary aortoesophageal fistula and subsequently treated with a two stage surgical procedure. |
