Aorto-enteric Fistula 15 Years After Uncomplicated Endovascular Aortic Repair with Unforeseen Onset of Endocarditis

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Aorto-enteric fistula after endovascular aortic repair is an exceedingly rare but serious condition. REPORT A rare case of a fistula between the excluded aortic sac and the transverse colon 15 years after endovascular aortic repair is described. Onset was endocarditis without gastrointestinal haemorrhage, migration, endoleak, or aortic sac dilatation. The patient was successfully treated by fistula excision, debridement and broad spectrum antibiotic treatment without endograft explantation. DISCUSSION Aorto-enteric fistula can emerge after endovascular repair with an unforeseen onset such as endocarditis, which in this case probably occurred as metastatic sepsis from endograft infection.

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...
