Abstract
We report saving the life of a 66-year-old woman with an aortoesophageal fistula caused by a fish bone. In this case, a hemostastic clip, which was applied to the lesion during emergency endoscopy, facilitated the subsequent diagnosis of this fistula by diagnostic imaging. Compressive hemostasis was effective in controlling preoperative bleeding.
