The interposition of viable tissue between an aortic graft prosthesis and the posterior wall of the duodenum has long been recognized as an important technique to limit the incidence of graft-enteric erosions and fistulae. In patients with aortoiliac occlusive disease, the periaortic tissue is approximated over the aortic prosthesis to insulate the graft from the adjacent bowel.
