Abstract
Any patient with history of aortic surgery and GI bleeding should be considered to have an AEF until proven otherwise. The sensitivity of CTA for detecting AEF is substantially greater than that of EGD. The time interval between herald bleed and subsequent massive hemorrhage associated with AEF is unpredictable but may be as short as 4 days.
