Treatment of Secondary Aortoenteric Fistulas Following AORTIC Aneurysm Repair in a Tertiary Reference Center.

Treatment of secondary aortoenteric fistulas is associated with a high perioperative mortality rate. Patients who survive the perioperative period following open surgical repair in the absence of hemorrhagic shock show acceptable midterm results during follow-up. Stent-graft implantation for bleeding control in patients presenting with life-threatening bleeding seems to be associated with lower perioperative mortality rates.
