Abstract
Aortoduodenal syndrome is a rare duodenal obstruction caused by an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Current treatment involves open aneurysmal repair according to the theory that this procedure releases the duodenum from mechanical compression. However, the mechanism of duodenal blockage remains unclear and reports of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for aortoduodenal syndrome are quite rare. We report our successful case of EVAR for aortoduodenal syndrome without aneurysmal shrinkage and discuss the mechanism of duodenal obstruction.
