[An esophagoaortic fistula due to a foreign body].
Starting from a case of aortoesophageal fistula caused by a foreign body, some aspects of the treatment of upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage of uncertain etiology are discussed. The time between bleeding and perforation often notes it possible to perform resolutive diagnostic tests (aortography, esophagoscopy, CT).
