Successful Endovascular Treatment for Ruptured Atypical Aortoiliac Mycotic Aneurysm Cause from Vibrio cholerae : A Case Report.

Abstract

Mycotic aneurysms, a rare condition (0.6-1.3% incidence), pose significant mortality risks if untreated, even with surgical intervention. Diagnosis challenges arise from nonspecific presentations. An integrated approach involving clinical suspicion, examinations, inflammatory markers, blood culture, and imaging is crucial. While emerging endovascular treatments exist, conventional methods like surgical resection remain pivotal. This report highlights a unique case-a ruptured infected aortoiliac aneurysm caused by Vibrio cholerae -successfully treated with an endovascular strategy. The patient demonstrated favorable outcomes during a 17-month follow-up period.
