  • Title: Infrarenal aortic rupture in association with a contiguous polymicrobial intraabdominal abscess including Eikenella corrodens.
    Author: Murrell Z, Sinow R, de Virgilio C.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2000 Jul; 14(4):401-4. PubMed ID: 10943795.
    Abstract:
    Aortic rupture in association with a contiguous intraabdominal abscess is rare. We report an unusual case of aortic rupture in association with a polymicrobial abscess and review the related literature. Cultures grew Eikenella corrodens, a rare intraabdominal pathogen, as well as betahemolytic streptococcus and S. viridans. The patient was successfully managed by aortic ligation followed by an extraanatomic bypass.
