Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair of Esophageal Cancer-Associated Aortoesophageal Fistula: A Case Report and Literature Review

Figure 2

Imaging showed esophageal stenting to repair the aortic stent migration. (a) Aortography showed no active bleeding. (b) Using the marking clips as a reference point, a stent graft was inserted to control the massive esophageal bleeding (yellow bold arrow). (c) Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed that the aortic stent is exposed into the esophagus. (d) The stent narrowed the esophageal lumen, hindering the scope’s passage past the lesion. (e) An esophageal stent was placed adjacent to the aortic stent to push it out and dilate the esophageal lumen. (f) The contrast medium flowed smoothly within the esophageal stent.
