Secondary aortoenteric fistula is a rare, highly morbid and often difficult to diagnose, cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is associated with prior aortic surgery or placement of a synthetic aortic graft. Our case features staged hybrid endovascular stent-grafting, graft excision, aortoplasty using a bovine pericardial patch, extra-anatomical bypass and complex bowel repair.
