Résumé

Abdominal aorta-duodenal fistulas are rare abnormal communications between the abdominal aorta and duodenum. Secondary abdominal aorta-duodenal fistulas often result from endovascular surgery for aneurysms and can present as severe late complications. A 50-year-old male patient underwent endovascular reconstruction for an infrarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm. Prior to the operation, he was diagnosed with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and Syphilis. Two years later, he was readmitted with lower extremity pain and fever. Blood cultures grew Enterococcus faecium, Salmonella, and Streptococcus anginosus. Sepsis was successfully treated with comprehensive anti-infective therapy. He was readmitted 6 months later, with blood cultures growing Enterococcus faecium and Escherichia coli. Although computed tomography did not show contrast agent leakage, we suspected an abdominal aorta-duodenal fistula. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy confirmed this suspicion. The patient underwent in situ abdominal aortic repair and received long-term antibiotic therapy. He remained symptom-free during a year and a half of follow-up. This case suggests that recurrent infections with non-typhoidal Salmonella and gut bacteria may be an initial clue to secondary abdominal aorta-duodenal fistula.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Abdominal aorta-duodenal fistulas are rare abnormal communications between the abdominal aorta and duodenum. Secondary abdominal aorta-duodenal fistulas often result from endovascular surgery for aneurysms and can present as severe late complications.
CASE PRESENTATION METHODS
A 50-year-old male patient underwent endovascular reconstruction for an infrarenal abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm. Prior to the operation, he was diagnosed with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and Syphilis. Two years later, he was readmitted with lower extremity pain and fever. Blood cultures grew Enterococcus faecium, Salmonella, and Streptococcus anginosus. Sepsis was successfully treated with comprehensive anti-infective therapy. He was readmitted 6 months later, with blood cultures growing Enterococcus faecium and Escherichia coli. Although computed tomography did not show contrast agent leakage, we suspected an abdominal aorta-duodenal fistula. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy confirmed this suspicion. The patient underwent in situ abdominal aortic repair and received long-term antibiotic therapy. He remained symptom-free during a year and a half of follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
This case suggests that recurrent infections with non-typhoidal Salmonella and gut bacteria may be an initial clue to secondary abdominal aorta-duodenal fistula.
