A rare iliac stent infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus led to severe complications including sepsis and organ failure. Prophylactic antibiotics are recommended before stent deployment to prevent such devastating outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Endovascular Interventions

Background:

  • Iliac artery stent deployment is a common endovascular procedure.
  • Stent infections are a rare but serious complication.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A patient developed fever, groin pain, and petechiae nine days after iliac artery stenting.
  • The patient experienced sepsis, adult respiratory distress syndrome, liver dysfunction, and renal insufficiency.
  • Staphylococcus aureus was identified in arterial and stent cultures.

Findings:

  • The case highlights a devastating endovascular complication: stent infection with arterial necrosis.
  • Aggressive surgical intervention, including stent removal and amputation, was necessary.

  • Staphylococcus aureus was the causative pathogen.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering stent infection in patients with post-procedural complications.
    • Prophylactic antibiotic use before stent deployment may reduce the incidence of such infections.
    • Further research into preventative strategies for endovascular device infections is warranted.
