Salvage thoracic endovascular aortic repair as a bridging therapy and radical surgery with thoracotomy should be considered while treating aortoesophageal fistula without spontaneous closure. Moreover, it is essential to select a technique that reduces the risk of reinfection. Here we report a rare case of a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm related to esophageal perforation by a fish bone that led to massive hematemesis and shock, and the surgical treatment of an aortoesophageal fistula that developed after salvage thoracic endovascular aortic repair.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case presentation<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 70-year-old Japanese female patient was admitted with hematemesis, thoracic pain, and shock related to esophageal perforation of a ruptured descending aortic aneurysm caused by fish bone aspiration and esophageal perforation 1\u00a0month previously. An emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair was performed. Postoperatively, an aortoesophageal fistula that remained open and a food intake-related increase in the inflammatory response was noted. Radical blood-vessel prosthesis implantation and fistula closure were performed. The patient\u2019s postoperative course was favorable and the patient was discharged 22\u00a0days after the blood vessel prosthesis implantation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Such a case of rupture of a descending aortic aneurysm related to perforation by a fish bone and an aortoesophageal fistula is considerably rare.
