  • Title: Management of a Mycotic Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm Involving the Celiac Artery.
    Author: Dolapoglu A, de la Cruz KI, Coselli JS.
    Journal: Tex Heart Inst J; 2016 Dec; 43(6):528-530. PubMed ID: 28100975.
    Abstract:
    A mycotic aneurysm that also involves the visceral arteries is a life-threatening condition. Surgical management typically consists of débridement and in situ repair with a Dacron graft and reimplantation of the involved visceral branches. We report a rare case of a mycotic saccular thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm involving the celiac artery, with Streptococcus pneumoniae as the responsible organism. Successful repair of the aneurysm and concomitant revascularization of the celiac artery were achieved.
