Endovascular Aortic Repair of an Infective Native Aortic Aneurysm

An infective native aortic aneurysm (INAA) is a rare, life-threatening, and complex disease. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of INAA remain uncertain. We describe the case of a 64-year-old man who had abdominal pain and a fever for more than one week. We diagnosed him with INAA on the basis of the clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and computed tomography (CT) images. After administering preoperative antibiotic therapy for four weeks, we performed endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). He then received antibiotic treatment for 12 months postoperatively. After successful treatment of an INAA with endovascular aortic repair, the patient had no recurrence for more than six years after the end of antibiotic therapy.
