The treatment of recurrent aortoenteric fistula (AEF) previously repaired by surgery is challenging, with a high mortality rate. Open repair is often limited by “hostile abdomen,” while endovascular treatment is difficult when the distance between the aortic stump and the origin of the renal arteries is short, with high risk of their occlusion. We describe a recurrent AEF repaired by surgery 4 months earlier, treated by endovascular coiling of the aortic stump after deployment of 2 renal artery stent grafts with the chimney technique.

Abstract
The treatment of recurrent aortoenteric fistula (AEF) previously repaired by surgery is challenging, with a high mortality rate. Open repair is often limited by “hostile abdomen,” while endovascular treatment is difficult when the distance between the aortic stump and the origin of the renal arteries is short, with high risk of their occlusion. We describe a recurrent AEF repaired by surgery 4 months earlier, treated by endovascular coiling of the aortic stump after deployment of 2 renal artery stent grafts with the chimney technique.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
