Abstract
Three case reports illustrating multidetector computed tomography (CT) imaging findings of secondary aortoenteric fistula (AEF) are described and presented in axial sections, multiplanar reformats, and 3-dimensional reconstruction. Fistulae occurred in the early and late postgrafting period and involved both end-to-end and end-to-side aortic graft anastomoses. Multidetector CT is quick and accurate in the diagnosis of bleeding AEF.Keywords
