Abstract: Aortoesophageal fistula is a fatal disease that requires surgical treatment. Due to the patient's wishes, we chose medical treatment for aortoesophageal fistula after thoracic endovascular aortic repair for a pseudoaneurysm in the distal anastomotic site after total aortic arch replacement. Satisfactory early and long-term outcomes were obtained with complete fasting and appropriate antibiotics.
