CASE REPORT: Endovascular Treatment of an Ilio-enteric Fistula: a “Bridge” to Aortic Homograft

Outcome after endovascular stent graft repair of aortoenteric fistula: A systematic review

“…They were either case reports or small case series. Five studies were excluded due to inadequate individual patient data, 7-11 one due to reporting on the endovascular management of an ilio-enteric fistula, 12 and another three due to reporting on the secondary rather than primary endovascular management of AEF. [13][14][15] Data were extracted from 33 reports that included 41 patients suffering from AEF, who were managed with endovascular stent graft repair, and were entered in the final analysis.…”

Endovascular Repair for Aorto-enteric Fistula: A Bridge Too Far or a Bridge to Surgery?

“…3 Because of the high morbidity and mortality rate of conventional surgical treatment, the use of an aortic endoprosthesis has been described with various outcomes. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Most reports in literature, however, are anecdotal. This multicentre study aimed to evaluate retrospectively the use of an aortic endoprosthesis in patients with AEF in Belgium and The Netherlands.…”

“…1,2 As a consequence, less invasive endovascular approaches have been reported, with mixed results. [3][4][5][6] Most of these procedures consist of stent graft exclusion of the fistula. Antoniou et al 7 systematically reviewed such cases and found 41 patients in 33 reports published from 1990 to 2008 who were treated with stent graft exclusion.…”
