Diverse Presentation of Secondary Aortoenteric Fistulae
Secondary aortoenteric fistula, due to mechanical erosion or infection of a prosthetic graft, is a very rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and an uncommon complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. A retrospective chart review conducted at our institution revealed 5 cases of secondary AEF occurring between 2006 and 2010. Presentations were diverse, including hematemesis, coffee-grou...
متن کاملDouble Primary Aortoenteric Fistulae: A Case Report of Two Simultaneous Primary Aortoenteric Fistulae in One Patient
Aortoenteric fistula is a rare but potentially fatal condition causing massive gastrointestinal bleeding. In particular, double primary aortoenteric fistulae are vanishingly rare. We encountered a 75-year-old male patient suffering from abdominal pain, hematochezia, hematemesis, and hypotension. His computed tomography images showed abdominal aortic aneurysm and suspected aortoenteric fistulae....
متن کاملAortoenteric Fistula as a Complication of Open Reconstruction and Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aorta
The paper intends to present a review of imaging characteristics of secondary aortoenteric fistula (AEF). Mechanical injury, infection, and adherence of a bowel segment to the aorta or aortic graft are major etiologic factors of AEF after open aortic repair. The pathogenesis of AEF formation after endovascular abdominal aortic repair is related to mechanical failure of the stent-graft, to stent...
متن کاملAn Aortoenteric Fistula Arising after Endovascular Management of a Mycotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated with a Psoas Abscess
Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...
متن کاملEndovascular or open repair for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm?
The three year results of the IMPROVE trial, in the related article by the IMPROVE Trial Investigators (doi:10.1136/bmj. j4859), will change clinical practice in favour of endovascular repair for patients with suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It is important to stress, however, that long term trials of endovascular compared with open surgery have reported diverging results f...
