Assess the presentation, etiology, and clinical consequences of secondary aorto-intestinal fistulas occurring after reconstructive procedures involving the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries.
Analyzed clinical records of patients presenting with secondary fistula formation between the digestive tract and reconstructed vessels following aortic and iliac surgery.
Identified secondary arterial graft erosion and massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage as hallmark manifestations linking the reconstructed vessels to the adjacent bowel.
Observed that delayed recognition contributes to severe morbidity, requiring urgent secondary vascular reconstruction and intestinal repair.
