Internal Iliac Artery Aneurysmo–Colonic Fistula after Endovascular Stent-Graft Repair: A Case Report

摘要

We describe rare ilio-enteric fistula that developed after endovascular repair of a left internal iliac artery aneurysm (IIAA). An 83-year-old man with a history of previous surgeries via laparotomies suddenly developed a high fever 3 years after undergoing endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR) with a stent-graft to treat a left isolated IIAA. Computed tomography imaging revealed a fistula between the IIAA and the sigmoid colon. A colostomy was created because severe intraperitoneal adhesions prevented resection of the IIAA. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remained free of infection without antibiotics. Residual aneurysms can cause complications after EVAR.
