Abstract

We report hereon a case of double bypass of the esophagus and descending thoracic aorta for the treatment of esophagopleural fistula and aortopleural fistula due to an infected aortic aneurysm after esophageal rupture. A 48 year old man was diagnosed as having esophageal rupture after an accidental explosion. Although he had been treated by esophageal repair and drainage at another hospital, the esophageal leakage could not be controlled and subsequent empyema developed in the left pleura. Further, bleeding from the descending thoracic aorta had developed and he was managed with endovascular stent insertion to the descending thoracic aorta. He was transferred to our hospital for corrective surgery. We performed esophago - gastrostomy via the substernal route, without exploring posterior mediastinum and we let the empyema resolve spontaneously. While he was being managed postoperatively Without any signs and symptoms of infection, sudden bleeding developed from the left pleural cavity. After evaluation for the bleeding focus, we discovered an Infected aortic aneurysm and an aortospleural fistula at the stent insertion site. We performed a second bypass procedure for the infected descending thoracic aorta from the ascending aorta to the descending abdominal aorta via the right pleural cavity. We found leakage at the distalligation site during the immediate postoperative period, and we occluded the leakage using a vascular plug. He discharged without complications and he is currently doing well without any more bleeding or other complications.

식도 파열 후 발생한 식도 흉막루 및 대동맥 흉막루를 식도와 대동맥 이중 우회술로 치험하여 보고하고자 한다. 48세 남자가 폭발 사고로 인한 손상으로 하부 식도 파열을 진단받았다. 외부 병원에서 1차례 식도 봉합술을 시행받았으나 식도 누출이 지속되었고, 이로 인해 좌측 흉강의 농흉이 동반되어 있었고, 이차적인 대동맥 손상으로 흉부 하행 대동맥에 스텐트를 삽입한 상태로 본원으로 전원되었다. 반복적인 수술 및 농흉으로 인한 유착 및 대동맥 손상을 고려하여 흉골 하행 경로를 통해 식도-위 우회술을 시행하였다. 남아있는 농흉은 감염 징후 없이 만성화 단계를 거치던 중 흉관 삽입 부위로 출혈이 관찰되었다. 검사 결과 흉부 하행 대동맥의 감염성 동맥류로 대동맥 벽이 약해진 상태가 확인되어 대동맥 우회술을 시행하였다. 우측 흉강을 통해 상행 대동맥과 복부 대동맥에 인조혈관으로 우회술을 시행하였고, 흉부 대동액 부위는 결찰하였다. 이후 원위부 결찰 부위에 남아 있는 개통 부위에 대해 혈관 플러그(vascular plug)를 이용하여 색전술을 시행하였다. 환자는 더 이상 출혈 없이 4개월째 외래 관찰 중이다.
