Abstract
There are no reports of an aorto-enteric fistula secondary to endovascular repair in the literature and this case describes the potential consequences of endovascular repair of AAA in BD. The aorto-enteric fistula was associated with persistent inflammatory aortitis, stent graft kinking, and infection. Five cases of secondary aorto-enteric fistulas following open AAA repair in BD patients have been reported including this case resulting from endovascular repair.
