   After reading these two articles, I found out that open surgery remains the treatment of choice in cases of preexisting vascular reconstruction or manifest infection. Endovascular techniques offer a viable solution in significantly comorbid patients or in patients presenting with acute, life-threatening bleeding. But, treatment of aortoenteric fistulas is associated with a high perioperative mortality rate.

Surgical surgery is a method for treating esophageal longitudinal fistulas. These two articles mention the cause of the death of patients after surgery, which has a lot to do with the stability of the patient's blood flow dynamics. Therefore, I quoted the article and hoped to provide a certain reference to surgery.

The articles were quoted [18], [19].
