title: Primary aortoduodenal fistula: extra-anatomic vascular reconstruction not required for successful management.
abstract: Eleven patients reported in the literature and three patients presented herein have survived treatment of primary aortoduodenal fistula by standard aortic reconstruction with prosthesis placement and duodenal repair. Follow-up of these patients documents that 93% (13 of 14) have had no graft-related complications. Standard aortic reconstruction appears to be justified in the treatment of primary aortoduodenal fistula.
