  • Title: Aortoduodenal fistula six weeks after EVAR for abdominal aortic aneurysm: a case report.
    Author: Tromp HR, Vercauteren S, Nevelsteen A.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 2009; 109(4):544-7. PubMed ID: 19803277.
    Abstract:
    The technique of endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm has markedly improved over the years, showing a lower 30-day mortality rate compared to the open technique. Despite improvements, the percentage of reinterventions remains high due to late failure. A rare but severe complication of EVAR is the development of an aortoduodenal fistula, which has a very high mortality rate. The pathogenesis still remains unclear.
