Abstract
The management of aortoduodenal fistula arising from recurrent mycotic aortic aneurysm stump with an endovascular graft iliac plug is successful, especially in patients with a previous history of abdominal aortic surgeries. This procedure reduces the mortality and morbidity associated with open surgery. Further validation with a greater number of cases and longer follow-up times would be required to prove that this is a viable definitive treatment modality.
