Aortoenteric fistula is an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, which is life-threatening if not treated. This complication may occur even months to years after surgery [Mitchel 1995]. It is commonly observed in patients who have undergone previous aortic surgery and rarely occurs in patients with a history of gastrointestinal tract surgery [Brock 1953]. The diagnosis of aortoenteric fistula depends on a high level of clinical suspicion. Herein, we report a case of a 53-year-old man who underwent surgical treatment because of new-onset severe gastrointestinal bleeding that was related to an aortoenteric fistula.

Purpose: To report a late complication associated with embolization coils used to treat an endoleak after endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. Case Report: A 79-year-old man with a 5.8-cm AAA underwent endovascular repair with an Ancure graft in 1997. A persistent type I endoleak was identified on serial postoperative computed tomographic scans. Three transarterial coil embolization procedures were performed to treat an endoleak from the proximal and right distal attachment sites with outflow by the inferior mesenteric and lumbar arteries. Coil embolization was ultimately successful in sealing the endoleak, and the AAA decreased in size. Four years later, the patient developed an aortoenteric fistula due to erosion of the metallic embolization coils into the duodenum. The endograft was explanted and an extra-anatomical bypass inserted. Conclusions: Coil embolization to treat endoleaks can, on rare occasions, be the cause of aortoenteric fistula. Lifelong follow-up of stent-graft patients is required.

Background: Aim of the study was to evaluate the primary procedural success of percutaneous coronary intervention of unprotected left main coronary artery stenosis using either Bare-metal stents or drug eluting stent. Methods: Total 33 patients were enrolled in this very preliminary non-randomized prospective cohort study. Among them, Male: 25 and Female: 8. Total 35 stents were deployed. Mean age were for Male: 59 yrs, for Female: 62 yrs. Associated coronary artery diseases risk factors were dyslipidemia, High Blood pressure, Diabetes Mellitus, Positive family history for coronary artery diseases and smoking. Results: Among the study group; 26 (78%) were Dyslipidemic, 24(70%) were hypertensive; 17 (51.5%) patients were Diabetic, 11(33%) were smoker and 7(21%) patients had family history of Ischaemic heart disease. Female patients were more obese (BMI M 26: F 27) and developed coronary artery diseases in advance age. Common stented territory were left main: 20 (60%), Left main to left anterior descending artery 7 (22%) and Left main to left circumflex artery 6 (18%). Average length and diameter of stent was 3.5 and 18 mm respectively. Stent used: Bare Metal Stent 5 (15%), Drug Eluting Stent: 28 (85%). Among the different Drug Eluting Stents, Everolimus eluting stents were 11 (39.3%), Sirolimus eluting 10(35.7%), Paclitaxel eluting 3 (10.7%), Biolimus eluting 3 (10.7%) and Zotarolimus eluting1 (3.6%). In the present study, overall survival outcome was 94% (31 patient), mortality of cardiac cause 3% (1 patient) and 1 patient (3%) died of hepatocellular carcinoma. Conclusion: Our study has shown that percutaneous coronary intervention of the unprotected left main is a safe and effective alternative to Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG).
