Aortoduodenal Fistula: A Rare Case of Recurrence

Abstract

Aortoduodenal fistula is seen as a sequence of erosion of the prosthetic graft into the small intestine, invariably causing a massive gastrointestinal hemorrhage. A prompt surgical intervention is essential to control the bleeding and to repair the intestinal defect. A recurrent case of such type of fistula is extremely rare.
