BORGES, Lisa; DIAS, Emanuel; OLIVEIRA, Fernando e CASSIO, Isabel. Secondary aortoenteric fistula: case report. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2013, vol.9, n.4, pp.158-162. ISSN 1646-706X.
The authors present a case report of a patient with previous history of a left aorto-femoral bypass complicated by infection, then submitted to partial resection of the prosthesis and femoro-femoral bypass, with subsequent transversostomy for fistula between the descendent colon, the loca of the removed prosthesis and the abdominal wall. After a few episodes of gastrointestinal bleeding with no conclusive investigation, a secondary aorto-duodenal fistula was suspected in the last abdominopelvic CT performed. The patient was submitted to laparotomy for abdominal aorta closure suture and axilo-“cross over” bypass. This is followed by a literary review of aorto-enteric fistulae.
