“…To achieve sufficient exposure of the vessel and guarantee an appropriate debridement, supravisceral clamping is mandatory in cases of aorto-enteric fistula, as already described by other groups. 17,18 However, in this study the presence of an aortoenteric fistula did not lead to higher mortality rates; in contrast other authors found this to be a risk factor for post-operative mortality. 18 Different grafts have been used for reconstructions after aortic graft infection; rifampicin soaked grafts have been well described and evaluated in large series as the preferred treatment option.…”

DEDICATIONAfter studying medicine at Hanover Medical School and philosophy and social psychology at the Leibniz University Hanover, Omke E. Teebken joined the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel at the end of the 1990s as a research fellow at the Clinic for Cardiovascular Surgery headed by Professor Dr Axel Haverich, whom Omke E. Teebken later followed back to Hanover.In Hanover, besides working as a clinician, Omke E.Teebken was particularly active scientifically, contributing to the establishment of the then newly founded Leibniz Laboratories for Biotechnology and Artificial Organs (LEBAO). His work focused on regenerative medicine and tissue engineering, and subsequently he wrote his habilitation thesis in in this field. After basic training in cardiac surgery, he specialised clinically in vascular surgery and played a pioneering role in the development of this field. Before being appointed director of the Clinic for Vascular Surgery e Endovascular Surgery at the Peine Clinic in 2016, Omke E. Teebken headed the Vascular Surgery e Endovascular Surgery Division of the Department of Cardiothoracic, Thoracic, Transplantation and Vascular Surgery at Hanover Medical School. Professor Teebken was a highly appreciated, committed, and competent colleague and teacher.On 8 April 2019, Professor Teebken passed away after a short and severe illness. He was member and author of the ESVS guideline writing committee, an esteemed colleague, and friend.We will always honor his memory.

An aortoduodenal fistula is a rare complication of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. Q fever infection is known for its vascular tropism, and arterial fistulas have been reported in association with Coxiella burnetii infections. We report the case of a 78-year-old patient who had developed an aortoduodenal fistula secondary to vascular Q fever 5 years after he had been treated with an aortic endograft. Explantation of the endograft, autogenous reconstruction using the neo-aortoiliac system procedure, and duodenal repair were performed as a curative surgical treatment of this serious vascular condition. At the 9-month follow-up examination, the patient showed no signs of recurrent vascular infection and was instructed to complete an 18-month antibiotic regimen.
