  • Title: Aortoduodenal fistula after endovascular stent-graft of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
    Author: Janne d'Othée B, Soula P, Otal P, Cahill M, Joffre F, Cérène A, Rousseau H.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2000 Jan; 31(1 Pt 1):190-5. PubMed ID: 10642722.
    Abstract:
    Despite satisfying short- and middle-term effectiveness and feasibility, endovascular stent-grafting for abdominal aortic aneurysm is still under evaluation. We report a case of an aortoduodenal fistula after the use of this technique. Enlargement of the upper aneurysmal neck was followed by caudal migration of the major portion of the stent-graft, which resulted in kinking of the device in the aneurysmal sac. Ulcerations were found on adjacent portions of both the aneurysmal sac and the adjacent duodenum. Only the textile portion of the prosthetic contralateral limb separated the aortic lumen from the corresponding duodenal lumen. Early detection of complications after stent-grafting is essential to allow successful treatment, either surgical or endoluminal.
