A 34-year-old male with a history of Behcet disease for 8 months underwent surgery owing to massive hematochezia and hemodynamic instability. A fistula was observed between the proximal small intestinal segment and the aortic graft (proximal anastomosis) at the infrarenal level. The prosthesis was not removed but was wrapped with the vascularized pedicle of the omentum that passed through the mesentery of the transverse colon. The patient was discharged on the fifty-ninth day. At the 15-month follow-up appointment, the patient was in excellent condition. Although our surgical choice was not a standard approach for this type of aortoenteric fistula, it was a lifesaving procedure in our patient.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAorto enteric fistulaBehçet diseaseSurgical treatmentCardiovascular system & cardiologyAdultAorta, abdominalAortic aneurysm, abdominalBehcet syndromeBlood vessel prosthesis implantationHumansIntestinal fistulaIntestine, smallMaleOmentumSuture techniquesVascular fistulaArticle0002614357000142-s2.0-6214910479330030216519238876Peripheral vascular diseaseBehcet Syndrome; False Aneurysm; Case ReportAcetylsalicylic acidColchicineCyclosporinImipenemPrednisoloneVancomycinAdd on therapyAdultAnastomosisAorta graftAAortointestinal fistulaArticleBehcet diseaseCase reportDescending aorta surgeryDisease durationFollow upGastrointestinal hemorrhageHematocheziaHospital dischargeHumanMaleOmentumOutcome assessmentPriority journalProsthesisSmall intestineSurgical techniqueSutureTissue flapAbdominal aortaAbdominal aorta aneurysmBehcet diseaseBlood vessel fistulaBlood vessel transplantationIntestine fistulaSmall intestineSuturing methodTransplantation
