Abstract:
A 59-year-old man, who had received graft replacement for the “inflammatory” abdominal aortic aneurysm two years previously was admitted to our hospital because of preshock caused by intermittent intestinal hemorrhage. Gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed an ulcer at the 3rd portion of the duodenum. As aortoenteric fistula was diagnosed and he underwent an emergency operation. After initial axillo-bifemoral bypass grafting, the aortic graft was removed and the aortic stump was closed directly. The duodenal rent was closed by Albert-Lembert suture, He survived the operation and was discharged. We suggest that extra-anatomic bypass is safer than in situ graft replacement in patients with secondary aortoenteric fistula after operation for “inflammatory” abdominal aortic aneurysm, because adjacent organs adhere firmly to the proximal suture line in such cases.
