Survival following aggressive treatment of secondary aortocolonic fistula
Abstract:
Secondary aortocolonic fistula is an uncommon complication of prosthetic aortic grafts; apparently there have been only two previously described long-term survivors. We describe a long-term survivor with this complication in which preoperative computed tomographic scanning and percutaneous abscess drainage allowed early diagnosis and intervention and contributed to optimal treatment and survival. Adherence to time-honored principles of abscess drainage and graft removal, followed by extra-anatomic bypass when indicated, are essential to successful treatment.
