Zusammenfassung:We report a case of aortoduodenal fistula 5 years after uncomplicated endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The diagnosis was confirmed by abdominal computed tomography scan and esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The patient was successfully treated with primary duodenal repair, removal of the infected graft, in situ placement of a bifurcated graft, and omental interposition. Review of the literature identifies this as one of very few documented aortoduodenal fistulas after endovascular aneurysm repair. Fistulization occurred despite accurate stent graft placement without migration, endoleak, or aortic sac size enlargement on annual postoperative imaging studies.
