These are uncommon and mainly involve the aorta and duodenum. They can cause fatal haemorrhage. A primary aorto-enteric fistula has several aetiologies, one of which is post-radiotherapy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case report:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>75-year old gentleman presented with acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding and haemorrhagic shock. He had a past history of right colonic cancer treated by resection and radiotherapy. At emergency gastroscopy he became critically unstable and the procedure was unsuccessful to achieve haemostasis. After resuscitation, a CT angiogram confirmed a right ilio-duodenal fistula between the right common iliac artery and duodenum. Interventional radiology was performed and a covered stent was inserted in the right common iliac artery. The patient recovered and was subsequently discharged from hospital. Three months later, he presented once again with similar massive haematemesis. Despite all efforts to stabilise him, he passed away a few hours after this second admission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case highlights what could possibly be a limitation of interventional radiology in providing definitive treatment for such a presentation. There are no set guidelines for the management of bleeding aorto-duodenal fistulae and literature is scarce. This makes it difficult to treat and the outcome is relatively unpredictable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While minimally invasive radiological techniques are invaluable in many areas and life-saving in countless emergency bleeds, cases like these should ideally not be treated by stenting alone. It would be wise to follow arterio-enteric fisula bleeds by definitive open surgical repair.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2018.05.023","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,4]],"date-time":"2018-06-04T17:49:16Z","timestamp":1528134556000},"page":"8-13","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Unusual site for primary arterio-enteric fistula resulting in massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding - A case report on presentation and management"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Anthony Pio","family":"Dimech","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Sammut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kelvin","family":"Cortis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nebosja","family":"Petrovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-3-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"542","DOI":"10.1007\/s00270-007-9267-3","article-title":"Endovascular management of acute bleeding arterioenteric fistulas","volume":"31","author":"Leonhardt","year":"2008","journal-title":"Cardiovasc.
