Brief Summary:
Abstract
Introduction
Aorto-enteric fistula AEF is a life-threatening complication arising from abnormal connections between the gastrointestinal tract and major arteries One uncommon type iliac artery-enteric fistula IEF can occur following vascular interventions such as arterial stent-graft placement
Case Presentation
We report the case of a 47-year-old male presenting with hematemesis and abdominal pain who was diagnosed with an iliac graft-enteric fistula Timely recognition and management were crucial for a favorable outcome
Clinical Discussion
Diagnosing AEFs remains challenging requiring a multidisciplinary approach and high clinical suspicion While computed tomography angiography CTA is commonly used for diagnosis its sensitivity may be limited emphasizing the importance of integrating clinical history and findings Management strategies vary based on etiology and patient status with surgery being pivotal
Conclusion
Aorto-enteric fistula which can arise from a thrombosed graft presents diagnostic challenges due to its rare formation In patients with a history of vascular interventions and gastrointestinal bleeding AEF should be considered This case underscores the need for heightened awareness among healthcare professionals regarding AEF diagnosis and management to reduce severe morbidity mortality and prolonged hospital stays
