    Abstract:
    A 39-year-old man with Stanford B aortic dissection was treated by thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and experienced an aortoesophageal fistula (AEF). After repeated TEVAR and esophageal stent implantation, the hematemesis did not cease although the whole thoracic descending aorta was covered by stents. A three-stage operation was performed, and an AEF 9 cm long was found during the operation. To our knowledge, this may be the largest AEF ever reported. The patient survived without adverse events.
