title: [Aortoduodenal fistulae: about two cases].
abstract: Aortoduodenal fistulae are an unusual complication of aortic pathology or surgery and a life-threatening entity. The results of surgical treatment may be disappointing because of postoperative complications. We report here two cases and discuss the diagnostic investigations and characteristics of aortoduodenal fistulae.
