Abstract

Description of the use of the left renal vein for aortic reconstruction in primary aortoenteric fistula secondary to a mycotic aneurysm has not been found in the literature. We report here a case of primary aortoenteric fistula secondary to a mycotic aneurysm with gross retroperitoneal contamination that was successfully treated by using a left renal vein graft for aortic reconstruction.
