Abstract:
Secondary aortoenteric fistula is a rare but fatal complication of reconstructive aortoiliac surgery. This disease entity could be divided into true aortoenteric fistula and paraprosthetic enteric fistula. The prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this complication remains a challenging problem. We report a 39 year old man who was diagnosed as paraprosthetic enteric fistula in endoscopy and operated 41 months after reconstructive aortoiliac surgery due to the infected pseudoaneurysm.
