  • Title: Emergency endovascular repair of iatrogenic aortocaval fistula: a rare complication of laparoscopic surgery.
    Author: Sinha S, Kember P, Currie I.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech; 2012 Jun; 22(3):e159-60. PubMed ID: 22678342.
    Abstract:
    We present the first reported case of iatrogenic aortocaval fistula due to trochar injury after attempted laparoscopic repair of incisional hernia. It was diagnosed with an x-ray computed tomography and successfully managed with an endovascular-covered stent graft by excluding the fistula. A follow-up computed tomography scan at 3 months did not show any recurrence.
