- Infectious Diseases
- Vascular Surgery
Background:
- Tuberculous aortic aneurysm (TBAA) is a rare but severe manifestation of tuberculosis.
- It carries a high risk of aortic rupture without intervention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a comprehensive understanding of TBAA.
- Including its complications, demographics, treatments, and outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of case studies and research articles on TBAA.
- Focus on clinical case reports from 2010 to 2020.
Main Results:
- TBAA is more prevalent in males aged 15-79.
- Surgery followed by antituberculous medication is the common treatment.
- Surgical options include open repair, endovascular repair, and valve replacement.
