ABSTRACT

An aorto-enteric fistula is defined as the communication between the aorta and an intestinal loop, representing a mortality of up to 90%. They can be primary as a result of aortic or digestive tract pathologies and secondary to predisposing factors, including vascular prostheses. We present herein the surgical management of a 67-year-old male patient with an aorto-enteric fistula, undergoing corrective surgery with a favorable short and long-term evolution.
