Celiac Arterioenteric Fistula after Open Repair of Celiac Artery Aneurysm - Case Report Arpit Amin Saptarshi Biswas Francis Carroll Romeo MateoSateesh Babu<p>In a patient with a known history of aortic surgery, presence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding requires a high index suspicion for the possibility of aorto-enteric fistula. Aorto-enteric fistula is an uncommon but known complication occurring after abdominal aortic reconstruction. However, there are few reported cases of enteric fistulas arising after splanchnic artery aneurysm repair.</p><p>We report a unique case of a celiac artery graft – duodenal fistula in a 60-year-old male, who developed upper gastrointestinal bleeding two months after initial open resection of a celiac artery aneurysm and placement of an aorto-celiac artery graft. The patient underwent successful repair of the fistula and the resection of the involved graft with ligation of the common hepatic artery and splenectomy.</p><p>Our case report highlights the rare entity of celiac arterio-enteric fistula after open repair of a celiac artery aneurysm and reviews the diagnostic and treatment modalities available for successful management of this rare complication.</p> International Journal of Vascular Surgery and Medicine - Peertechz Publications 2015-12-01 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/2455-5452.000007 en Copyright © Arpit Amin et al.
