Abstract

A 74-year-old woman presented at our hospital with hemoptysis. Three months ago, she had endovascular stent-grafting done by a general surgeon for a saccular thoracic aneurysm that was found accidentally following an episode of fever and chills. Despite a lasting fever after the procedure, she was discharged without further treatment and follow-up. She was subsequently admitted to the hospital for evaluation and several exams were performed. Chest CT scans and an esophagoscopy identified an aorto-esophageal fistula at the level of the aorta that was covered by a previous stent-graft. After extensive administration of antibiotics, surgery was done - esophagectomy, cervical esophago-gastrostomy and replacement of the thoracic aorta. She was later discharged uneventfully.

74세 여자 환자가 3개월 전 발열, 오한이 있어 시행한 검사에서 우연히 소낭형 흉부 대동맥류가 발견되어 외과에서 대동맥 내 스텐트 삽입술을 시행 받았다. 시술 후 발열, 오한이 지속되었으나 별도의 항생제 치료 및 추적 관찰 없이 지내던 중 토혈이 발생하여 응급실로 내원하였다. 흉부 전산화 단층촬영과 식도내시경 검사에서 스텐트가 삽입된 대동맥류 주변으로 공기-액체층 및 삼출물 저류 소견과 대동맥-식도루가 발견되어 감염성 대동맥류와 이에 합병된 대동맥-식도루가 강력히 의심되었다. 이에 토혈에 대한 보존적 치료와 감염에 대한 경험적 항생제 치료 후 수술을 시행하였다. 수술은 기존의 스텐트를 제거하고 흉복부 대동맥 치환술을 시행하였으며, 식도는 절제 후 경부 식도-위 문합술로 재건하였다. 술 후 1일째 별다른 문제 없이 인공 호홉기를 이탈하였고, 2일째 일반 병실로 전동되었다. 감염성 대동맥류가 의심되는 환자에서 혈관 내 스텐트 삽입술 시행 후 발생한 치명적인 합병증인 대동맥-식도루에 대하여 성공적인 수술적 치료를 경험하였기에 보고하고자 한다.
