title: Traumatic superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula and aortic pseudoaneurysm 20 years after repair.
abstract: A case of traumatic superior mesenteric arteriovenous fistula (SMAVF) and aortic pseudoaneurysm successfully treated by a unique combination of operative and endovascular techniques with a 20-year follow-up is reviewed. After 20 years, the patient presented with an aortoenteric fistula, which was managed with a cryopreserved aortic interposition graft. In this report, we review the evolution of the treatment for traumatic SMAVF and aortic pseudoaneurysm and the current management of aortoenteric fistula.
