Iliac artery-enteric fistula developed during bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy for recurrent cervical cancer: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Highlights An iliac artery-enteric fistula is a rare but life-threatening condition that requires urgent treatment. We experienced a case of iliac artery-enteric fistula developed during bevacizumab-containing chemotherapy. The patient underwent successful endovascular treatment with a covered stent-graft as a bridge to definitive open surgery.
