Abstract
Aortoesophageal fistula due to an aortic arch aneurysm is a rare entity with an extremely high mortality. There are few reports of successfully managed cases and even fewer of long term survival. We report a case of an aortoesophageal fistula resulting from a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the distal aortic arch in a patient with melioidosis, its surgical management, and outcome.Entities:
