Gastrointestinal bleeding due to a primary aortoenteric fistula.

We present the case of a 80 years-old male patient who underwent a CT angiogram due to hematemesis and hypovolemic shock. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a large clot that closed the antrum and abundant red blood in the pyloric-antrum region. Sclerosis was performed blindly and the bleeding origin was not identified and the success of the sclerosis could not be evaluated.
