Abstract
An aortoenteric fistula is a connection between the aorta and the intestines, stomach, or esophageus. There can be significant blood loss into the intestines resulting in bloody stool and death. It is usually secondary to an abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is typically via a CT angiography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy, or arteriography. It is part of the differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding.
