Gastrointestinal complications (GI) after thoracoabdominal aortic repair can be classified as biliary disease, heptic dysfunction, pancreatitis, GI bleeding, peptic ulcer disease, bowel ischemia, paralytic ileus, and aortoenteric fistula. Theses complications are associated with high post operative morbidity and mortality. Most of the aortoenteric fistulae after thoracoabdominal aortic surgery are found at the duodenum, near the surgical site. These rare complications are caused by an indirect communication with abdominal aorta that originated from an aneursymal formation ruptured into the duodenum. Such aorto-duodenal fistula formation is considered as a result of inflammatory change from secondary infection near the surgical instruments. Herein, we report two cases of massive upper GI bleeding from aorto-duodenal fistulae and spontaneous lower GI perforation related to cytomegalovirus infection after abdominal aortic aneurysmal repair operations.

Main pharmacovigilance signals and alerts issued in 2009 are reviewed. Efalizumab was withdrawn from the market due to increased risks, including progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and questionable efficacy. New cases of PML are still being reported with rituximab and natalizumab. Rare cases of pure red cell aplasia have been observed with mycophenate. Gastrointestinal perforation, severe skin rashes and various ocular disorders have been reported during erlotinib use. Severe skin rashes have been related to etravirine. Acute renal failure and pancreatitis can occur with exenatide. A link between sitagliptin and pancreatitis is suspected. Raised concerns of causality between insuline glargine and malignant tumors are not supported by strong evidence. Proton pump inhibitors seem to blunt clopidogrel benefit. Aliskiren can cause angioedema.
