Primary aortoduodenal fistula caused by Salmonella aortitis

Abstract:
We report the management and follow-up of two cases of primary aortoduodenal fistulas caused by Salmonella aortitis. The origin, presentation, diagnosis, and results of operative therapy for patients with primary aortoduodenal fistulas, especially patients with positive aortic wall cultures, are reviewed. Successful therapeutic principles included early intervention, primary duodenal repair, aneurysm resection, aortic reconstruction with an in situ Dacron graft, and prolonged courses of bactericidal antibiotics.

01:30Aneurysm I: Introduction
An aortic aneurysm is a localized outpouching or dilation at a weak point in the artery wall. It may involve different parts of the aorta, such as the abdominal aorta, aortic arch, or thoracic aorta.Etiological factorsSeveral disorders are associated with aortic aneurysms.Congenital causes, such as primary connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome, impact the integrity and strength of connective tissues, notably affecting the aorta. Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that specifically...
01:27Diverticular Disease of the Colon
Diverticular disease involves the formation of diverticula—small sac-like outpouchings of the colonic wall—and their complications. It most commonly affects the sigmoid colon due to higher intraluminal pressure and structural vulnerability. It results from structural weakness and increased pressure in the colon, producing pseudodiverticula that may remain silent or progress to inflammation and serious complications.Structure of DiverticulaIn diverticulosis, these outpouchings are...
