A 1.5-cm mucosal defect with the classic appearance of an aortoduodenal fistula was detected by endoscopy in the third portion of the duodenum (Panel A). The patient had a Dacron aortic graft and presented with hematemesis. C indicates the clot overlying the bleeding site, and G the graft with a superimposed collection of infected fluid. Computed tomographic scanning (Panel B) revealed fluid collection in the area of the aorta (arrows). Surgery confirmed the presence of the aortoenteric fistula and an infected graft.
