Résumé

Fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair (FEVAR) is a minimally invasive technique used to treat complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. We present the case of a 69-year-old man with a juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with FEVAR. The patient experienced postoperative dysphagia and sepsis. Investigations revealed a perforated esophagus due to esophageal ischemia and necrosis, leading to complete esophagectomy and subsequent esophageal reconstruction. This case highlights esophageal necrosis and perforation as a potential complication of FEVAR and serves as a reminder to have a low threshold for investigating and emergently managing this condition, which otherwise has a high mortality rate.
