Abstract
While endoscopic stent implantation seems to be effective in the control of intrathoracic anastomotic leakage, nevertheless the incidence of aortoesophageal fistula caused by stent-related aortic erosion exceeds the thus far reported numbers. Awareness of this life-threatening complication after stent insertion is therefore mandatory.
