We report a patient who developed fistulization between the jejunum and a Dacron patch placed at the bifurcation of the right common iliac artery during endarterectomy 14 years previously. The patient was successfully managed by resection of the iliac bifurcation and a segment of the involved bowel. While arterio-enteric fistulae typically involve prosthetic grafts, they may occur in association with artificial materials used to patch endarterectomy sites; hence, knowledge of technical detail is important in the diagnosis of this complication following endarterectomy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007083 Iliac Artery Either of two large arteries originating from the abdominal aorta; they supply blood to the pelvis, abdominal wall and legs. Deep Circumflex Iliac Artery,Arteries, Iliac,Artery, Iliac,Iliac Arteries
D007412 Intestinal Fistula An abnormal anatomical passage between the INTESTINE, and another segment of the intestine or other organs. External intestinal fistula is connected to the SKIN (enterocutaneous fistula). Internal intestinal fistula can be connected to a number of organs, such as STOMACH (gastrocolic fistula), the BILIARY TRACT (cholecystoduodenal fistula), or the URINARY BLADDER of the URINARY TRACT (colovesical fistula). Risk factors include inflammatory processes, cancer, radiation treatment, and surgical misadventures (MEDICAL ERRORS).
