    Upper panel: IVUS clearly showed an aorto-duodenal fistula at the level of the proximal anastomosis, 8 by 6mm diameter, 3cm distal to renal arteries (arrow). Lower panel: A Gore Excluder graft was deployed in such a way that the bare stent overlap renal arteries origin and the covered part extended to 15mm distal to the anastomosis (arrow).
