Aortoesophageal fistula(AEF)is a rare and potentially fatal disease with poor prognosis. Without immediate treatment, AEF may cause severe infection and massive hemorrhage in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Foreign body in the esophagus is the most common cause of AEF in domestic reports, whereas surgery of aortic diseases and thoracic aortic aneurysm are the main causes of AEF in foreign researches. In this article, we presented one case of AEF induced by thoracic aortic aneurysm. A 74-year-old male patient underwent endovascular thoracic aortic stent for the penetrating ulcer of the descending aorta complicated with pseudoaneurysm rupture. Postoperatively, he suffered from AEF complicated with mediastinal infection. After the disease condition was stablized, he repeatedly presented with esophageal fistula enlargement and gastrointestional hemorrhage. He eventually died from hemorrhagic shock even after active rescue. Early diagnosis should be delivered for patients with risk factors and typical symptoms of AEF. For those with atypical symptoms, physicians should widen diagnostic thinkings and remain alerted to the possibility of AEF. After endovascular thoracic aortic stent, broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy should be performed to treat the mediastinal infection.
