Aorta-esophageal fistula induced by a foreign body: the first recorded survival

G Ctercteko et al. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 1980 Aug.

Abstract

Two cases of aorta-esophageal fistula (AEF) resulting from a foreign body in the esophagus are presented. One we believe to be the first recorded survival. Both cases illustrate the importance of early diagnosis, made on the classical history, followed by operation.
