感染性胸部大動脈瘤で2 回の大動脈破裂をきたした1 例

A 79-year-old man was diagnosed with rupture of infective thoracic aortic aneurysm following septicemia caused by infective cholangitis. He underwent emergent endovascular aortic repair and discontinued antibiotics. Graft infection occurred and was treated 29 days after the first operation. He underwent emergent resection of the abscess with graft coverage using pedicled intercostal muscle flaps. Aortic re-rupture was found and treated 183 days after the second operation. He underwent emergency additional thoracic endovascular aortic repair and continued to take antibiotics again. We should continue a careful follow up.
