Emergency Endovascular Treatment of An Aortoesophageal Fistula with Torrential Bleeding After Mediastinal Mass Resection

Abstract

ortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare but usually a fatal disorder. Transient self-limited bleeding may produce fatal exanguination and is often a significant feature of the disease process. The purpose of this report is to describe the experience of our cardiovascular surgery department in an emergency case presenting with AEF three weeks after a mediastinal mass resection operation.
