[Digestive hemorrhage caused by seromuscular erosion of the wall of a section of the small intestine at the level of an aortic prosthesis implanted 5 years earlier].
A new paraprosthetic enteric fistula case between the small bowel and the body of a Dacron aortobifemoral prosthesis is presented. That complication happened five years after the initial reconstruction and the fistula does not interest an anastomotic site. A process is rare (22 published cases); if symptomatology is often less important than complete fistulas, surgical therapy must be aggressive to be effective.
