Aortic aneurysm repair treatments

Primary aortoenteric fistula (PAEF) is defined as a communication between the native aorta and any portion of the gastrointestinal tract. PAEF differs from secondary aortoenteric fistula (SAEF), which occurs when a pathologic communication develops between a previously placed vascular graft and a portion of the gastrointestinal tract. PAEF is a rare condition, and since its first description in 1817, fewer than 230 cases have been reported worldwide.1-22 Although most of these cases involved an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), some involved an aorta without an aneurysm.
