  • Title: Peripheral seeding of mycotic aneurysms from an infected aortic stent graft.
    Author: Parkinson TJ, Rosales C, Wyatt MG.
    Journal: Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg; 2007 Jun; 33(6):684-6. PubMed ID: 17293129.
    Abstract:
    Aortic stent graft infection is rare and there are no reported cases of seeded peripheral mycotic aneurysms complicating this condition. We describe the case of a 54 year old man who developed a late stent graft infection at three years, resulting in the peripheral seeding of three mycotic aneurysms with two incidents of rupture. He was successfully treated with extra-anatomic bypass of the aorta and both surgical and endovascular repair of his peripherally seeded mycotic aneurysms.
