Abstract:
A 67-year-old woman underwent an esophagogastrectomy and esophagogastrostomy for carcinoma of the distal esophagus. She died of massive hematemesis and exsanguination on the 14th postoperative day. An acute peptic ulcer-induced aortoenteric fistula was present at the anastomotic line. The literature on peptic ulcer-induced aortoenteric fistulas after esophagogastroplasty is reviewed.
