An aortoduodenal fistula as a complication of immunoglobulin G4-related disease

扫码查看
Most primary aortoduodenal fistulas occur in the presence of an aortic aneurysm,which can be part of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related sclerosing disease.We present a case who underwent endovascular grafting of an aortoduodenal fistula associated with a high serum IgG4 level.A 56-year-old male underwent urgent endovascular reconstruction of an aortoduodenal fistula.The patient received antibiotics and other supportive therapy,and the postoperative course was uneventful,however,elevated levels of serum IgG,IgG4 and C-reactive protein were noted,which normalized alter the introduction of steroid therapy.Control computed tomography angiography showed no endoleaks.The primary aortoduodenal fistula may have been associated with IgG4-related sclerosing disease as a possible complication of IgG4-related inflammatory aortic aneurysm.Endovascular grafting of a primary aortoduodenal fistula is an effective and minimally invasive alternative to standard surgical repair.
