ABSTRACT: Aortic aneurysms may become infected. This unusual complication carries a highly unfavorable prognosis. In any patient with sepsis and a known aneurysm, spread of the sepsis to the aneurysm should be suspected if no other source of infection can be found.

Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Southern Medical Journal, 1985In the surgical literature, 37 survivors of infected abdominal aortic aneurysmorrhaphy have been reported. The diagnosis is suspected if a patient with fever, leukocytosis, and abdominal pain is noted on physical examination to have a pulsatile abdominal mass. Confirmation is best obtained with computerized tomography and angiography.

Infected Aneurysms of the Abdominal Aorta
Archives of Surgery, 1980Infected aneurysms of the abdominal aorta are relatively uncommon, but potentially lethal if improperly managed. Two case reports emphasize the importance of the preoperative aortogram for accurate diagnosis. We stress the principles of total excision of infected tissue and revascularization in uninfected tissue planes. A useful vascular reconstructive

Salmonella Infection of a Ventricular Aneurysm
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1992We describe a diagnostically challenging case of infection due to a species of Salmonella in a ventricular aneurysm. Two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography, gallium 67 scanning, and cardiac gated magnetic resonance imaging were required to make the diagnosis.

Three patients with infected (mycotic) aortic aneurysms were diagnosed primarily by CT. In two patients findings included the presence of a saccular aneurysm with an irregular lumen, perianeurysmal fluid, gas and/or hematoma, osteomyelitis in adjacent vertebral bodies, and disruption of intimal calcification.

Salmonella organisms have been responsible for half of the reported cases of infected aortic aneurysms, although other bacteria have been incriminated. This is the second reported case in which Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus apparently infected an inflammatory aortic aneurysm. In this 70-year-old man the organism was isolated and treated prior to

Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
Southern Medical Journal, 1987We report five cases of infected abdominal aortic aneurysm managed at the St. Thomas Hospital between 1975 and 1985. Two patients died, one before operation, and another during surgical repair of aneurysmal rupture. Three patients survived, all of whom had primary repair of the aorta or in situ Dacron graft reconstruction.

Although intravesical therapy with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) has proven its efficiency in the treatment of early-stage bladder cancer, infectious complications can occur and mycotic aneurysms represent a rare but life-threatening complication. Here,

Management of Infected Aortoiliac Aneurysms
Archives of Surgery, 1991A 30-year retrospective review identified 13 patients treated for infected aneurysms of the abdominal aorta or iliac arteries, for an overall incidence of 0.65%. A constellation of clinical findings led to the correct preoperative diagnosis in 11 (85%) of 13 patients.

Consecutive Infected Aneurysms Caused by Salmonella
Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1988Treatment of infected aneurysms consists of operation, which depends on the location and pathologic type, and antibiotic therapy, before and at least six weeks following operation. The authors present a case of two consecutive aneurysms occurring in a patient with Salmonella infection. Full recovery was obtained after surgical excision of the aneurysms,
