Abstract
The case of a patient with an aortoesophageal fistula is presented, which was caused by ingestion of a chicken bone and was treated by endovascular stent-graft placement and esophagectomy with early reconstruction. The diagnostic and therapeutic options and challenges encountered in treating an aortoesophageal fistula are discussed.Entities:
