    Author: Rice HE, Arbabi S, Kremer R, Needle D, Johansen K.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 1997 Jul; 11(4):416-9. PubMed ID: 9237001.
    Abstract:
    Mycotic aneurysms of the extracranial carotid artery are rare and difficult to diagnose and can lead to significant medical morbidity. Treatment of these lesions requires expert surgical management and necessitates an assiduous search for an underlying source. We report a case of a ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the cervical carotid artery due to Salmonella infection successfully treated by wide excision and saphenous vein patch angioplasty.
