  • Title: Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy following aortic surgery.
    Author: Dellestable F, Péré P, Régent D, Gaucher A.
    Journal: Ann Rheum Dis; 1996 Dec; 55(12):863-7. PubMed ID: 9014578.
    Abstract:
    Unilateral lower extremity hypertrophic osteoarthropathy may be the initial symptom of an infected aortic graft. Knowledge of this uncommon association should lead to early and accurate diagnosis and appropriate surgical management, thus avoiding the development of aortoenteric fistula, a complication that still carries a significant risk of mortality.
