Introduction
Although rare, accidental ingestion of a fishbone leading to penetration
of the esophagus is potentially fatal, and can result in complications
such as major vascular trauma, significant hemorrhage, mediastinitis,
and aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) [1]. Treatment
of foreign body-induced AEF with aortic pseudoaneurysms should include
repair of the damaged vessel and intensive use of antibiotic drugs,
which still lacks standardization. We report the successful endovascular
repair of a thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm after esophageal perforation
caused by accidental ingestion of a fishbone.
