Abstract

In this case report, we present a 70-year-old male who was brought to our hospital with signs of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The patient was diagnosed with aortitis two and a half months prior. We suspected upper gastrointestinal bleeding, and the patient was taken to the operating room for an acute endoscopy, which showed blood in the oesophagus, ventricle, and duodenum, but no bleeding source. CT angiography showed erosion of aortic aneurism, at the site of known aortitis, with bleeding into the lung and pleura. The patient was transported to the nearest university hospital for thoracic endovascular repair and survived.
