ABSTRACT
A 52-year-old man suffered from rupture of a right aortic arch and a descending aortic aneurysm. The patient was treated with an open stent grafting technique, and complete revascularization was achieved. Twelve days after the operation, a computed tomographic scan revealed a fistula between the distal esophagus and the excluded aneurysm sac. Twenty-six days later, the patient was treated by an esophagectomy, a cervical esophagogastrostomy, as well as a feeding jejunostomy. The infectious parietal thrombus was partially debrided, and the aneurysm sac was filled with omentum. The patient recovered uneventfully. The patient has been followed for 18 months with no signs of infection.
