[A fistula between the aorta and esophagus--an uncommon sequela of dissection of the thoracic aorta].
- Institut klinické a experimentální medicíny, Praha.
In a patient with repeated dissection of the ascendent aorta where the first episode was resolved surgically by an intraluminal prosthesis the authors describe the rare consequence of the development of a new dissection manifested by an aorto-oesophageal fistula. In the described case an inoperable episode was involved which fully confirmed the clinical validity of the pathognomic Chiari triad.
