Aorto-enteric fistula. A case treated with insertion of a new dacron prosthesis and bilateral autotransplantation of the kidneys

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
E Mohr, G Sødal

Abstract

A 54-year-old woman was treated for an aortic aneurysm with a Dacron-Y-prosthesis. Four years later she developed GI bleeding lasting for five months before the diagnosis of an aorto-enteric fistula was made. The fistula was caused by a total disrupture of the proximal graft anastomosis with formation of a huge pseudoaneurysm involving both renal arteries. Treatment included fistula closure, insertion of a new Dacron graft and bilateral renal autotransplantation with complete recovery.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
