Late Stent Graft Infection after the Emergency Endovascular Repair of a Secondary Iliac Artery-Enteric Fistula Treated with Graft Removal and In Situ Aortic Reconstruction Using Femoral Veins

Abstract: An arterioenteric fistula is a devastating and life-threatening condition that requires urgent treatment. Less-invasive endovascular treatment has emerged as an alternative to conventional open repair, but postoperative graft infection remains a major concern. We herein report a case of late stent graft infection after emergency endovascular repair of a secondary iliac artery-enteric fistula. The patient was a 63-year-old male who presented with a fever, who had undergone successful endovascular stent grafting… Show more

“…Stent-graft infection in peripheral arteries is rare but potentially dangerous [ 7 ]. The incidence of stent-graft infection after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair had been reported as 0.4–1.0% while Aortoiliac graft infection occurs in 2–6% of patients with such prosthesis [ 8 , 9 ]. Diabetes and smoking independently increase the infection risk; however, other risk factors previously reported for endovascular procedures, such as absence of sterility, lack of antibiotic prophylaxis, introducer sheath permanence more than 24 h, multiple stents implantation, or multiple procedures in the same region [ 10 ], and in our case a bare metal stent was present for a precedent FSA stenting.…”

“…It is likely that bowel ischemia is due to an occlusion of the relative arteries, and mechanical damage is caused by the aneurysm. Fistula can occur because of traumatic forces caused by surgical injury, inadequate tunnelling, erosive processes by direct contact, or by the penetration of an oversized VE [73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83]. Note: In case microbiological analysis identifies potential "contaminant" organisms (e.g., coagulase-negative staphylococci, propionibacteria, corynebacteria, and other skin commensals) a minimum of (I) two intraoperative specimens, (II) two blood cultures, or (III) one intraoperative specimen plus one blood culture must be positive with an indistinguishable microorganism in each sample based on antibiograms or other typing methods, e.g., pulsed-field electrophoresis.…”

“…Weitere prädisponierende Faktoren sind aortale Interventionen, Malignome des Beckens sowie intraabdominelle und vaskuläre Infektionen. Am häufigsten betroffen sind die A. iliaca communis und das Kolon [14]. Auch bei den aortoenteralen Fisteln ist das kontrastmittelverstärkte Mehrzeilen-CT die führende diagnostische Methode mit hoher Spezifität und Sensitivität.…”
