Risk Factors for Mortality in Patients with Aortoesophageal Fistula Related to Aortic Lesions.

Conclusions: We found that hemorrhagic shock, sepsis, and multiorgan failure were risk factors for death in patients with AEF. Additionally, conservative treatment was associated with a higher rate of mortality, while combined aortic graft replacement and esophagectomy improved the prognosis. PMID: 33014040 [PubMed]
