Aortoesophageal fistula is a rare but fatal cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. AEF develop progressively from the esophageal perforation caused by foreign body. Clinically, there is a medial chest pain, followed by hematemesis and finally terminal exsanguination. Diagnosis must be achieved during the free intervals in this triad of often rapidly succeeding signs.
主动脉食管瘘是上消化道出血的一种罕见但致命的病因。主动脉食管瘘由异物导致的食管穿孔逐渐发展而来。临床上，患者先出现胸部正中疼痛，随后出现呕血，最终因大出血死亡。必须在这一系列常常迅速相继出现的症状中的间歇期作出诊断。
