Enteric fistulous communication with an aortobifemoral graft permitting for Eggerthella lenta colonization
The presence of an aortoenteric fistula following aortobifemoral graft repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is associated with a high probability of infection leading to clinically significant bacteremia. We report a case of an aortoenteric fistula that developed two years after initial aortic gra...
