Aortoduodenal fistula and aortic aneurysm secondary to biliary stent-induced retroperitoneal perforation

Abstract: Duodenal perforations caused by biliary prostheses are not uncommon, and they are potentially life threatening and require immediate treatment. We describe an unusual case of aortic aneurysm and rupture which occurred after retroperitoneal aortoduodenal fistula formation as a rare complication caused by biliary metallic stent-related duodenal perforation. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing a lethal complication of a bleeding, aortoduodenal fistula and caused by biliary metallic stent-induced… Show more

“…was cured without any surgical intervention and he has been healthy without taking any antibiotics after 6 years since the spontaneous evacuation of the stent, contrary to the standard surgical removal process. Although one case of aortoduodenal fistula secondary to biliary stent placement has been reported, 3) the present case showing the spontaneous resolution of a graft-duodenal fistula which allowed the passage of a vascular stent has not yet been reported in the literature. The precise course of healing remains to be clarified, and the underlying reasons for the spontaneous resolution need further understanding.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to report on the actual prevalence rate of SMDP in a large consecutive cohort of patients that undergo ERC. Previous publications only comprise case reports 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 . Prevalence rates in our study may seem high, however, SMDP may well be an underreported complication, due to hesitation of physicians to report a complication that may be (falsely) attributed to inadequate technical skills.…”

“…These findings are in line with other reports 4 5 8 13 17 23 24 25 27 28 29 . Only two case reports were published in which a perforation was reported with shorter stents 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 . Longer stent length was also associated with a higher risk of SMDP at univariate regression analysis.…”
