Primary aortoduodenal fistula: a rare entity with lethal effects
Primary aortoduodenal fistula (ADF) is a rare but morbid diagnosis. Here, we present the case of a patient with a primary ADF that resulted in mortality. Despite multiple attempts at radiographic and endoscopic diagnosis, the fistula did not declare itself until the patient exsanguinated. Given the morbidity associated with ADF and the imperfection of associated diagnostic studies, a high index...

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a very serious and rare communication between the lumen of the aorta and that of the duodenum. When such a fistula occurs in the absence of previous aortic aneurysm surgery, it is called a primary aortoduodenal fistula (PADF), a condition much less frequent than a secondary aortoduodenal fistula which occurs as a result of previous aortic aneurysm grafting.

Primary aorto-enteric fistula (PAEF) develops between the native aorta and the gastro-intestinal tract, in the presence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It is a rare, life-threatening condition and appears to be less frequent than secondary aorto-enteric fistula, which is associated with previous aortic prosthetic reconstruction. When untreated, the overall mortality rate is almost 100%. Diagno...
متن کاملPrimary aortoduodenal fistula due to a swallowed sewing needle: a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Atherosclerosis remains the most common etiologic factor, accounting for more than two-thirds of the cases reported. Other etiologies include carcinoma, ulcers, radiation, aortitis and foreign bodies including sewing needle, cocktail stick, open safety pin and fishbone. We report a case of a 17 year-old gi...
