# Aortoenteric Fistula with Digestive Contrast Material Leaking in the Aneurysmal Sac

## TL;DR

This paper highlights how a rare but serious complication of aortic surgery can be accurately diagnosed using CT scans with digestive contrast.

## Contribution

The paper emphasizes the use of CT scans with intestinal opacification to definitively identify aortoenteric fistulas.

## Key findings

- Aortoenteric fistula can be identified with certainty using CT scans.
- Opacification of the intestinal tract is key to diagnosing this condition.

## Abstract

Teaching point: Aortoenteric fistula, a major complication of aortic surgery, can be identified with certainty on CT scan with opacification of the intestinal tract.
