Abstract

We report a successful case of 50-year-old woman with aortoesophageal fistula due to tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the thoracoabdominal aorta. We underwent endovascular repair with stent graft. Her clinical course improved without additional surgical repair or postoperative complications. The patient remains well at 3-year follow-up.
