UNASSIGNED: An aortoesophageal fistula following surgery for a ruptured 6.6-cm thoracic @entity439 in a 69-year-old female was repaired using a 34-mm woven prosthetic graft. A follow-up computed tomography (CT) scan at 10 days postoperatively revealed a dissection-like picture in the region of the graft, which was treated conservatively. The @entity1 eventually died from sepsis and @entity177 . At autopsy, the graft was retrieved in situ and studied by detailed gross, microscopy, and @entity4653 ( @entity4653 ) examination. Gross observation confirmed that the dissection resulted from the rolling of the internal capsule downstream. A massive @entity715 anchored at the proximal @entity254 and held by a narrow head was also noted. The @entity715 demonstrated reorganization in the area of the @entity254 , with a false lumen in its distal half. The reminder of the @entity715 consisted of layered fibrin. After gross examination, the fabric graft was found to be flawless. Additional detailed studies were also done using microscopy, @entity4653 , and gross examination.
