    Abstract:
    A 78-year-old female presented at a nearby hospital with hemorrhage and loss of consciousness. After examination by computed tomography (CT) scan, she was referred to our hospital on suspicion of an impending rupture of the descending thoracic aorta aneurysm. She underwent a 2 stage operation. At the 1st operation, graft replacement of the descending aorta and closing of the aneurysmal wall over the aortoesophageal fistula were performed. On the 2nd postoperative day, intrathoracic esophagogastrostomy was performed by the gastric tube interposition technique. On the 54th postoperative day, she was discharged to a rehabilitation hospital.
