[One-stage Radical Surgery for Aortoesophageal Fistula after Graft Replacement of Descending Aorta].
2021
A 31-year-old woman was referred to our institution because of aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) six months after the descending aortic replacement for acute aortic dissection. We operated one-stage repair of the AEF. Thoracoscopic esophagectomy was firstly performed in prone position from right thoracic cavity, and then the esophagus was reconstructed with gastric conduit via posterior mediastinal route with omental flap. Secondly, graft replacement of the descending aorta using lateral oblique straight incision was performed and the graft was covered with omental flap simultaneously. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she started oral intake on the 13th day after surgery. Although the one-stage surgery for the AEF is highly invasive, it could be a good option for selected cases.
