  • Title: Mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta with retroperitoneal abscess: successful endovascular repair.
    Author: Koeppel TA, Gahlen J, Diehl S, Prosst RL, Dueber C.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2004 Jul; 40(1):164-6. PubMed ID: 15218478.
    Abstract:
    Mycotic aortic aneurysms are rare. Improved diagnostic procedures, appropriate antibiotic treatment, and safe surgical techniques have reduced the high mortality associated with bacterial aortitis. However, definite evidence-based conclusions with regard to the surgical strategy cannot be drawn from the data available in the published literature. We report successful endovascular repair of a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm. Endovascular treatment may offer a benefit, especially in critically ill patients.
