Abstract
We report on a 52-year-old male who developed late stent graft infection resulting in infective aneurysm formation with systemic septic embolization and aortoduodenal fistulation 9 months following endoluminal repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Although endoluminal stent graft infection and erosion into surrounding viscera is rare, we highlight the need for awareness of this potentially catastrophic complication.
