RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: Aorto-enteric fistula after endovascular aortic repair is an exceedingly rare but serious condition. REPORT: A rare case of a fistula between the excluded aortic sac and the transverse colon 15 years after endovascular aortic repair is described. Onset was endocarditis without gastrointestinal haemorrhage, migration, endoleak, or aortic sac dilatation. The patient was successfully treated by fistula excision, debridement and broad spectrum antibiotic treatment without endograft explantation. DISCUSSION: Aorto-enteric fistula can emerge after endovascular repair with an unforeseen onset such as endocarditis, which in this case probably occurred as metastatic sepsis from endograft infection.
