| Abstract: | Summary The etiology, diagnostic difficulties and treatment of five cases of aortointestinal fistulas are presented. In all of them, endoscopy played a major diagnostic role. Early diagnosis is essential for elective surgery since reconstruction in the massive bleeding stage has a mortality of up to 80%. |
