title: [A case of an aberrant subclavian artery-esophageal fistula due to prolonged nasogastric intubation].
abstract: A case of fatal hematemesis due to an aberrant right subclavian artery-esophageal fistula is presented. The patient was a 9-year-old male child with complex congenital heart disease and developed the fistula by prolonged tracheal and nasogastric intubation after Fontan type operation. To avoid this unusual but serious complication, aberrant subclavian artery should be treated surgically before repair of complex cardiac anomaly.
