Aorto-enteric Fistula following Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Repair by Endograft

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) by endografting is an increasingly common procedure. The enthusiasm for this technique is due to a hypothetical lower incidence of mortality, mainly in poor-risk patients, a shorter hospital stay and reduced costs when compared to open surgery. The more patients that have been treated, the longer the follow-up interval becomes and the more likely the appearance of complications. We describe here a case of aorto-enteric fistula appearing 22 months after the implantation of an endovascular graft (Vanguard II) for AAA.
