Aortoduodenal fistula may occur primarily as a complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm or secondarily after reconstructive surgery of the abdominal aorta. The clinical presentation may be occult, with the classic triad of mass, pain, and bleeding inapparent or overshadowed by signs of infection. A high index of clinical suspicion combined with radiographic and endoscopic examinations will establish the diagnosis.

Aortoduodenal fistula is a well-known complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and has been described after endovascular repair. A unique complication of duodenal perforation by intentionally placed embolic material in the aneurysm sac is described. Intentional off-label use of material to promote aneurysm sac thrombosis should be avoided.

Aortoduodenal fistula after endovascular treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm is a very rare but life-threatening complication. Herein, we describe 4 cases of aortoduodenal fistula diagnosed at 15 to 78 months after the index aortic intervention, all successfully treated by surgery. All patients underwent primary repair of the duodenal wall, creation of tube duodenostomy, stent graft removal, and in situ reconstruction using a rifampicin-soaked prosthesis. Patients received prolonged antibiotic treatment for at least 2 months postoperatively, and all were free of recurrent infection at follow-up. Prompt and appropriate surgical intervention is required to effectively manage this condition.
