Abstract:
A very rare case of double fistula aorto-enteric jejunal and ileal, draining to an aortic pseudoaneurysm, is presented. There were not evidence of sepsis, and by this reason pseudoaneurysm and prosthesis were removed, a new prosthesis was inserted by reconstruction "in situ", and intestinal fistulas were closed. The short- and large-term postoperatory was satisfactory. A review about possible mechanisms implicated in a fistula, diagnosis and therapeutic alternatives was made.
