Endovascular Repair of Aortic Injury Caused by Esophageal Foreign Body:Report of a Case

A 51-year-old man visited to our hospital because of chest discomfort and hematemesis. He was diagnosed with Mallory-Weiss syndrome and followed in outpatient clinic. One week later, he visited our hospital again for fever and discomfort. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a foreign body perforated in the mediastinum in the upper esophagus, and he was urgently hospitalized for surgical removal of esophageal foreign body. Before surgery he vomited the esophageal foreign body with a lot of blood. Hematemesis was stopped spontaneously and contrast-enhanced CT revealed a pseudoaneurysm in the distal aortic arch, so thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) was performed to prevent rupture. Esophageal endoscopy found that the site of esophageal injury healed spontaneously, so the patient was followed conservatively with antibiotics. He was discharged on postoperative day 18 uneventfully. TEVAR was an effective treatment for aortic injury caused by esophageal foreign body in our case.
