Erosion of Aorto-femoral Dacron Graft into Urinary Bladder Sixteen Years after Surgery, A Case Report

Dacron graft fistulation following aorto-iliac reconstruction into gastrointestinal tract is far commoner than fistulation into the urinary bladder. We reported the first case of erosion of an aorto-bifemoral Dacron graft into the urinary bladder, sixteen years after the initial aortic surgery. A high index of suspicion is necessary in patients presenting with significant urinary symptoms, who have had past history of vascular reconstruction.
