  • Title: [Aorto-duodenal fistula: endoscopic diagnosis].
    Author: Márquez Galán JL, Herrera JM, Vega P, Pascasio JM, Pabón M, Masegosa A, Soria A.
    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1990 Aug; 78(2):96-8. PubMed ID: 2271302.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient with hemorrhage due to secondary Aortoenteric Fistula (AEF), diagnosed by emergency oral endoscopy. We stress the importance of early diagnosis in these patients by virtue of a so-called "warning hemorrhage", which usually occurs hours or weeks before the appearance of a massive hemorrhage which is soon fatal. The importance of emergency endoscopy in the early diagnosis of these cases is emphasized.
