Infected Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Caused by Campylobacter Jejuni

A 69-year-old man presented with abdominal pain. Enhanced computed tomography (ECT) showed abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with vessel wall thickening. Follow-up ECT on day 3 of admission showed expansion of the AAA. Endovascular abdominal aortic repair (EVAR) was urgently performed. Since preoperative blood cultures revealed Campylobacter jejuni infection, the antibiotics imipenem/cilastatin were administered for five weeks, followed orally by Clarithromycin. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 45. There was no recurrence of the aneurysm at 9 months after EVAR. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of EVAR for infected AAA caused by Campylobacter jejuni.
