Abstract:
Aortoenteric fistula (AEF) is a low-prevalence, life-threatening condition regardless of treatment, with a 30-50% postoperative (≤60 days) mortality.

We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients treated for AEF at a fully-equipped tertiary healthcare center between January 2008 and December 2020.
