Endovascular Treatment of Aortic Stump Rupture After Extra-anatomic Aortoduodenal Fistula Repair is not a Definitive Treatment: A Case Report and Literature Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Endovascular treatment of an aortic stump rupture is technically feasible. Whether this is a definitive treatment or a bridge to further surgery is unknown.

Report

Previously a Case of an aortic stump rupture following extra-anatomic repair of a recurrent aortoduodenal fistula (ADF), which was successfully treated endovascularly by placement of an Amplatzer® Vascular Plug was described.
