  • Title: Endovascular repair of an aortoduodenal fistula.
    Author: Eskandari MK, Makaroun MS, Abu-Elmagd KM, Billiar TR.
    Journal: J Endovasc Ther; 2000 Aug; 7(4):328-32. PubMed ID: 10958300.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To demonstrate the utility of endovascular stent-graft repair for the management of an unusual aortoduodenal fistula. METHODS AND RESULTS: A 23-year-old man with an aortoduodenal fistula secondary to tumor necrosis was treated with a Corvita endoluminal stent-graft after several failed surgical attempts to repair the defect. At 2-year follow-up, the patient was clinically and radiographically devoid of any evidence of occult stent-graft infection. CONCLUSIONS: This case illustrates the usefulness of endovascular repair for the treatment of a primary aortoduodenal fistula. Endovascular repair should be included in the armamentarium for the management of difficult aortoduodenal fistulas.
