Abstract

 We experienced a case of emergency thoracotomy with hemorrhagic shock due to an aorto-esophageal fistula of a dissecting aortic aneurysm.

 After entering the operating room, insertion of the S-B tube resulted in temporary improvement in circulatory dynamics.

 The patient unfortunately died during the operation, but the use of the S-B tube was considered useful for controlling bleeding in the esophageal rupture of the aortic aneurysm.
