This case study presents a complex case of a 56-year-old female admitted with hematemesis and melena. After initial stabilization, urgent endoscopy revealed ulceration and suspected aortoesophageal fistula stemming from a previous fish bone injury. The diagnosis of upper GI bleed was confirmed via CT scan. This case discusses management strategies, including surgical repair options and endovascular approaches, with a focus on potential complications like exsanguinating bleed and infection. Follow-up care included esophageal stenting and PEG feeding, ultimately leading to the management of granulation tissue and stent removal challenges.

  1. Interesting case of GI bleed Dr Charles Panackel MD DM, Dr Sunil K Mathai MD, DM Department of Gastroenterology, Medical Trust Hospital, Kochi Presenting Author – Dr Sunil K Mathai, HOD Gastroenterology

  2. History • 56 year old female • Admitted with • Hematemesis - 2 episodes • Malena - 3 episodes • Generalized weakness • Giddiness

  3. Admitted to ICU • Hemodynamically stable • PR – 80 / min., BP – 140/70 mm Hg • RT inserted – no fresh blood, coffee ground aspirate • General examination – mild pallor + • Systemic examination – no s/o liver disease • No contributory findings

  4. Urgent Endoscopy

  5. Ulceration with Adherent Clot in Mid Esophagus? Aortoesophageal fistula

  6. Flash Back

  7. Fish bone in mid esophagus in 2005. Active oozing ++ -Referred to MTH

  8. Flash Back CT Chest- Fish bone in mid esophagus piercing aorta Emergency Thoracotomy with aortic repair on 21/03/2005 Uneventful till date…. When she presented with GI bleed on 15/o6/2012

  9. Back to case

  10. CT chest with aortogram

  11. DiagnosisUpper GI BleedAortoesophageal Fistula

  12. How to Manage ?

  13. How to Manage ( what literature says?) High mortality Common cause of death – Exsanguinating Bleed Infection

  14. How to Manage ( what literature says?) 2 main options for Aortic Pseudo aneurysm Open surgery Aortic repair using – Synthetic material Pedicle graft Thoracic esophagectomy + cervical esophagostomy + gastrostomy Endovascular repair

  15. How to Manage ( what literature says?) • Esophageal defect ?? • Leave it alone ?? • Esophagostomy/Esophagectomy ?? • Stenting ??

  16. Endovascular repair Esophageal Stenting PEG for Feeding Antibiotics Plan

  17. Esophageal stenting done

  18. PEG tube for feeding

  19. Follow up aortogram • Both stents well in situ • No obvious leak seen. • Antibiotics • PEG feed

  20. CT Chest after 2 weeks

  21. Follow up • Six weeks • Patient eating well • No infection or leak • Planned for removal of esophageal stent

  22. At Six weeks • At six weeks • Granulation tissue in growth at both ends of esophageal stent. Unable to remove • APC done to ablate the granulation • Still stent could not be dislodged.

  23. Six Months • Both Stents in situ • In growth of Granulation tissue at both ends. Planned for APC

  24. Thank you.
