Core Tip Aortoduodenal fistula is a rare but life-threatening cause of gastrointestinal bleeding requiring urgent surgical intervention. Management requires definitive aortic repair combined with tailored duodenal reconstruction. Small, viable defects are typically treated with primary repair and omental coverage, whereas larger or complex injuries may necessitate jejunal serosal patching, vascularized flaps, or Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy. Pyloric exclusion is reserved for selected cases. An individualized approach based on defect size and tissue viability is essential. We report a 79-year-old man with prior open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair who developed an aortoduodenal fistula and was successfully treated with bovine graft reconstruction and Roux-en-Y duodenojejunostomy.
