Xue et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Aortoesophageal fistula secondary to anastomotic leak after esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (n=1). Emergent thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) followed by elective surgical esophagogastric re-anastomosis and aortic fistula repair with a bovine pericardial patch was evaluated on Hemostasis and long-term survival. Emergent TEVAR followed by definitive surgical repair of the esophageal anastomosis and aortic defect achieved hemostasis and 10-month survival in a 68-year-old male with aortoesophageal fistula.
