  • Title: Surgical treatment of primary aortoduodenal fistula.
    Author: Taheri SA, Kulaylat MN, Grippi J, Ricotta JJ, Kale J, Bernhard H.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 1991 May; 5(3):265-70. PubMed ID: 2064921.
    Abstract:
    Primary aortoduodenal fistula is a rare and potentially fatal condition. Awareness of its existence, precise diagnostic evaluation, and early surgical intervention are essential for the survival of the patient. Although early experience indicated that interruption of the fistula, repair of the enteric defect, oversewing of the aorta and extraanatomic bypass was the procedure of choice, in situ aortic replacement with a prosthetic graft seems to be a viable option. This article includes a case report of a primary aortoduodenal fistula and review of the literature.
