Overview

Case report reveals endovascular aortic repair for mycotic aortic aneurysm in a patient with acute renal failure, suggesting non-typhoidal salmonella as a key pathogen.

Key Points

  • Endovascular aortic repair led to complete symptom resolution in a 74-year-old male with mycotic aortic aneurysm.
  • Blood cultures confirmed infection with non-typhoidal salmonella, which is a frequent cause of mycotic aortic aneurysms.
  • Management of mycotic aortic aneurysm remains uncertain regarding the duration of antibiotic therapy post-repair.
  • Evaluation of febrile abdominal pain should consider the possibility of mycotic aortic aneurysms and their underlying infections.
