    Abstract:
    Aortoesophageal fistula is a fatal disease which needs immediate control of bleeding and infection. We report a case of aortoesophageal fistula successfully treated with extra-anatomical bypass and complete resection of infected aorta and esophagus following endovascular repair. He was discharged after reconstruction of esophagus and recurrence of infection has not been observed for the past 5 years.
