  • Title: False aneurysm infected by Aspergillus fumigatus: an unusual complication of aortofemoral bypass graft.
    Author: Nussaume O, Elzaabi M, Icard P, Branger C, Bouttier S, Andreassian B.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 1990 Jul; 4(4):388-92. PubMed ID: 2163668.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of Aspergillus fumigatus infection of aortobifemoral prosthetic grafts are reported. Both patients were treated successfully by excision of the infected prosthetic material, axillofemoral extra-anatomic bypass, and prolonged medical treatment. The patients received amphotericin B, 5-flucytosine and itraconazole until negative aspergillus serology was obtained (at 9 and 18 months, respectively). Later, repeat disobliteration procedures for thrombosis of the axillofemoral bypass were required. No recurrent aspergillus infection was found.
