چکیده

Introduction: Aorto-psoas fistulas resulting from infected stent grafts are rare but carry high mortality rates. This case report highlights the critical necessity of distinguishing between a simple abscess and a vascular fistula in patients with prior aortic interventions to prevent catastrophic procedural complications. Conclusion: This case underscores the necessity of routine contrast-enhanced CTA prior to any image-guided drainage in patients with prior aortic stent grafts. Early identification via CTA is essential to modify management strategies and avoid iatrogenic hemorrhage
