Background:
Mycotic aortic aneurysm is a rare and potentially life-threatening lesion, and endovascular repair has become increasingly accepted for intervention. Fenestrated endografts are available options to treat aneurysms involving visceral arteries. Here, we first report two patients with mycotic aortic aneurysm involving paraviscereal aorta who were successfully treated with custom-made fenestrated endograft.
Case Presentation:
Two patients were presented with mycotic aortic aneurysm. Due to their comorbidities and the involvement of the renal arteries, company-manufactured fenestrated stents were designed. Meanwhile, antibiotic therapy was administrated for 2 months before endovascular repair. Patients improved well without complications.
Conclusions:
Custom-made fenestrated endovascular stent is an effective and feasible alternative solution to mycotic paravisceral aorta aneurysm.
