Aorto Esophageal Fistula (AEF) is a rare but catastrophic complication in thoracic aortic aneurysms with no consensus about the best treatment option. We present a case of AEF as a late complication of TEVAR implantation in a Stanford type-B chronic dissection treated with hybrid aortic surgical approach and percutaneous esophageal stent.
