Open Repair of Long-Standing Thoracic Stent Graft Collapse Resulting in Pseudocoarctation and Aneurysm Formation

Abstract

After reported successful endovascular repair of an aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) caused by a chicken bone, subsequent stent graft collapse resulted in pseudocoarctation and late aneurysm formation requiring complex open surgical repair using deep hypothermic circulatory arrest.
