Figure 2

CT scan using oral hydrosoluble contrast material: (a) axial and (b) coronal reconstruction. (a) There is leakage of the contrast material from the esophagus to the posterior mediastinum (white arrow); the aortic stent was placed demonstrating that the esophageal wall is perforated. (b) Mediastinal collection with air bubbles within it (white arrow), surrounding the aorta with the stent placed in an adequate position.
