- Try building your search one term at a time, and be as specific as you can! Search term example: "chronic cough".
- Do not enter multiple findings such as "anemia, chronic cough, weight loss, vomiting" all at the same time.
- After selecting your term from the search results a list of possible diagnoses will be generated. If the list is too long, you will be able to narrow it down by entering additional terms.
- Do not enter values such as "heart rhythm 110" or "sodium 125", instead use "tachycardia" or "hyponatremia".

- Definition
-
Usually in elderly patients after graft repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm but retroperitoneal disease can be the setting; dramatic amount of upper GI bleeding is the hall mark of this lethal complication; often fever, malaise and retroperitoneal symptoms including pain of penetrating ulcer disease, give scant warning; Endoscopy with long scfope lets you view the duodenum where the large clot is seen; CT scan of abdomen is abnormal but endoscopic ultrasound just diagnosis the leaking graft and substrate for disaster;
