Abstract:
A 52-year-old man was admitted in the emergency department for deteriorating mental status and suspicion of discitis. Computed tomography and positron emission tomography scan showed evidence of localized infection of the aortic bifurcation and blood cultures were positive for Staphylococcus aureus. Ten years ago, the patient underwent placement of covered metal stents on each common iliac artery due to arteritic stenosis. The infected material was removed and aortic bifurcation repaired using an autologous femoral vein graft. This case report describes the surgical procedure, patient outcome, and review on prevention of such complications.
