Abstract:
Primary bacterial arteritis with false aneurysm formation is an uncommon condition. This report presents seven patients admitted to one unit over a 5-year period. Interesting aspects of the clinical presentation are discussed. The importance of surgical debridement, extra-anatomic bypass, antibiotic therapy and antibiotic irrigation of the infected aneurysm cavity is stressed. The relative merits of extra-anatomic bypass and in situ grafting for aortic infection are discussed. By following these principles, this series of patients have had a successful surgical outcome and all the signs of infection have been eradicated.
