  • Title: Extra-anatomical ascending-thoraco-abdominal bypass for aortic fistula after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

    Abstract:
    Aortobronchial and aorto-oesophageal fistulae after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for traumatic aortic injuries are rare but serious. Potentially fatal complications may occur years after the stent graft deployment. Surgical management is challenging. We report on a 33-year-old male with aorto-oesophageal fistula and a 25-year-old male with aortobronchial fistula-both of whom received TEVAR for traumatic aortic injury. Each underwent successful staged open surgical repair with extra-anatomical bypass from the ascending aorta to the thoraco-abdominal aorta, along with arch vessel reconstructions and debridement of infected lesions. They remained alive after 18 months.
