Abstract
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is one of the choices for management of thoracic aortic aneurysms.[1] However, the complications of this procedure remain undetermined.[1] We present a 91 years male with a fatal post TEVAR aortoesophageal pseudoaneurysm leak and fistula to draw attention for such complication and its primary symptoms that may provide immediate treatment.
