    AbstractDuring recent years, considerable clinical experience has been gained with endoluminal stent-graft procedures. Several studies have shown promising results up to a period of 4.5 years. However, long-term follow-up studies are still limited. Late endoleaks caused by stent-graft migration, disconnection of single components in modular stent-grafts, and limb thrombosis have been observed as long-term complications. We report a case in which a migrated and kinked bifurcated stent-graft caused an aortoduodenal fistula 20 months after stent-graft insertion. To our knowledge, such a complication has not been reported before.
