Diagnosis and clinical presentation of iliac graft-enteric fistula: A case report
Aorto-enteric fistula, which can arise from a thrombosed graft, presents diagnostic challenges due to its rare formation. In patients with a history of vascular interventions and gastrointestinal bleeding, AEF should be considered. This case underscores the need for heightened awareness among healthcare professionals regarding AEF diagnosis and management to reduce severe morbidity, mortality, and prolonged hospital stays.
