This report describes the use of transluminal endovascular grafting for the treatment of a presumed aortoduodenal fistula. The patient was a 71-year-old man who had undergone resection and graft replacement for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Three years after operation, melena was caused by perforation of the duodenal wall by a pseudoaneurysm at the proximal graft anastomosis. The pseudoaneurysm was treated by transluminal endovascular grafting. The pseudoaneurysm was subsequently thrombosed and absorbed. The ulcer-like lesions at the site of the duodenal wall perforated by the pseudoaneurysm also resolved. Endovascular stent-grafts may have a role to play in management of aortoduodenal fistula.
