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.

Following review of the abdominal x-ray, an urgent CT aortogram was undertaken which showed an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) measuring 13 cm in width and 18.9 cm in length (Figure 2 and 3). Furthermore there was some stranding of tissue around the margins of the aorta superiorly consistent with an early leak of the aneurysm. Surgical repair of the giant AAA was carried out; however two days after operation the patient deteriorated suddenly and despite all attempts at resuscitation, he passed away.
