Foreign body esophageal perforation causing mediastinitis and aortic pseudoaneurysm is a very rare and challenging situation that requires a strict follow-up and an intensive multidisciplinary approach. A staged approach, first by endoscopy followed by endovascular treatment, may be safe and effective in selected patients.
