  • Title: [Anastomotic aneurysm].
    Author: Harnoss BM, Zühlke H, Matura G, Rosenthal A.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1989; 114(3):169-74. PubMed ID: 2523627.
    Abstract:
    The incidence of postoperative suture aneurysms shows a generally regressive tendency. Within the last 10 years, we diagnosed anastomotic aneurysms in 66 of a total of 2,494 patients undergoing vascular reconstruction with implantation of alloplastic material at our clinic. Aneurysms were primarily located in the inguinal region (88%); intraabdominal suture aneurysms were diagnosed in 9% of all cases. Infection was the cause of postoperative anastomotic insufficiency in eleven cases (17%) with staphylococci and E. coli being the dominant pathogens.
