This report describes a 4-month-old female infant with complex congenital heart disease and prolonged nasogastric intubation who developed an aberrant subclavian artery-esophageal fistula that was successfully managed in a two-staged procedure. To our knowledge, this is the first patient to survive correction of this problem after massive hemorrhage.
