An aorto-enteric fistula (AEF) is a fistula formed between the aorta and the GI tract that causes severe rectal bleeding or large amounts of blood in vomit. It is a rare form of gastrointestinal hemorrhage and generally has a poor prognosis. AEF is often accompanied by a herald bleed. Immediate diagnosis and treatment is required once a herald bleed has been detected. Here, we report on a case of unsuccessful treatment of secondary AEF following stomach cancer. AEF is commonly referred to a lethal, and because of the interesting symptomatic and treatment aspects of the case, we have chosen to report it.
