ABSTRACT
An aorto-esophageal fistula (AEF) is a rare complication of aortic surgery but can cause potentially lethal upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding. A patient presented with an AEF secondary to emergency endovascular repair of a contained penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer rupture of the thoracic aorta and was successfully treated with endoscopic closure using fibrin glue. As endovascular repair becomes increasingly common, a greater incidence of AEFs should be anticipated and the treatment options better described.
