    Upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to primary aortoesophageal fistula is a rare clinical condition burdened with high mortality rate. However, the outcomes are closely related to the level of clinical awareness, the complementary and multidisciplinary approach during the diagnostic workup, and the selected treatment option. We present an atypical case of an aneurysm of the thoracoabdominal aorta complicated with primary aortoesophageal fistula (AEF). A 55‐year‐old male with no previous diseases, presented with prolonged and intense back pain and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The gastroscopy detected an unusual culprit lesion in the distal esophagus resembling an esophageal wall defect, and the computed tomography revealed an aneurysm of the thoracoabdominal aorta, remarkable surrounding hematoma, and active contrast extravasation. Despite the urgent surgical repair, a lethal outcome occurred. AEF patients require high clinical awareness and complementary multidisciplinary approach in order to provide a rapid diagnosis and optimal treatment.

    Spontaneous rupture of a hepatic artery aneurysm into the peritoneal cavity is a serious life-threatening complication related to hemodynamic instability and high mortality rate. We present a case of a hepatic artery aneurysm complicated with intraperitoneal bleeding and successfully treated with endovascular stent insertion. A 78-year-old male patient was admitted to a tertiary care center due to an abdominal pain and a large amount of free fluid in the peritoneal cavity. The diagnostic paracentesis confirmed hemoperitoneum. The CT scan revealed an aneurysm of the common hepatic artery that was successfully treated with an insertion of a dual-layered carotid stent. Endovascular stent insertion of a ruptured aneurysm of the common hepatic artery is an effective therapeutic procedure that can provide a definitive curative treatment in some patients.
