  • Title: Aortoappendicular fistula after aortoiliac prosthetic replacement.
    Author: Fievé G, Bour P.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 1989 Apr; 3(2):187-9. PubMed ID: 2527548.
    Abstract:
    A 48-year-old patient who had had an aortofemoral reconstruction with a Dacron graft nine years earlier presented with intestinal bleeding. At laparotomy the cause was found to be a fistula between a proximal false aneurysm and the vermiform appendix. The patient recovered after removal of the graft and extraanatomic revascularization associated with appendectomy. Four other similar case reports have been found in the literature.
