“…Coselli et al [3] emphasized the importance of graft coverage and elimination of dead space with viable tissue flaps. Percutaneous drainage prior to an open surgical repair or the treatment of abdominal or thoracoabdominal aortic graft infection has been reported [4][5][6]. To the best of our knowledge, although percutaneous drainage of an abdominal aortic aneurysm sac has been previously reported, drainage of an abscess located at the aortic arch is rare.…”

“…12 Percutaneous drainage of the aneurysm sac after endovascular repair has been proposed, with the aim of reducing the infectious content of the sac. 14 However, what many authors describe in practice is that complete drainage is technically difficult, and that surgical debridement is still the best solution. 15 The choice of antibiotics and the duration of treatment after surgical resection will be determined on the basis of the patient's parameters and test results.…”

Infected abdominal aortic aneurysms are rare and have high mortality due to sepsis and the possibility of rupture. The treatment of choice is open repair with aneurysm resection, debridement and reconstruction with an autologous vein graft. More recently, case series have been described in which the endovascular approach was the first option. With both approaches adjuvant antibiotic therapy is imperative. We report an illustrative case in which the treatment was open surgery reconstruction using an autologous vein graft.Keywords: infected aneurysm; aortic aneurysm; micotic aneurysm. ResumoOs aneurismas de aorta abdominal infecciosos (AAAIs) são raros e apresentam uma alta mortalidade devido à septicemia e ao risco de ruptura. A opção terapêutica consagrada consiste na correção aberta com ressecção do aneurisma, debridamento e reconstrução com veia autóloga. Mais recentemente, alguns grupos vêm relatando séries de casos nas quais se realizou tratamento endovascular. Em ambas as opções, a antibioticoterapia adjuvante é imperativa. Relatamos um caso ilustrativo em que o tratamento de escolha foi a cirurgia aberta com reconstrução utilizando-se veia autóloga.Palavras-chave: aneurisma infectado; aneurisma aórtico; aneurisma micótico.

“…This approach often means difficult and extensive surgery in these often very sick patients with generally high morbidity and mortality. A number of authors have therefore advocated graft preservation (3,6,7). Some treat all patients initially with antibiotics and then intervene surgically as appropriate.…”

Aortic stent graft infection is a rare but serious complication associated with high mortality. This report emphasizes the need for continued awareness of potential graft-related septic complications in patients undergoing Endovascular Aortic Repair (EVAR). We report a case in which a post-EVAR patient became unwell about 30 days post operatively and was shown on CT scanning to have a psoas abscess. The abscess was managed with percutaneous drainage and antibiotics. The patient remains well with no evidence of psoas collection or perigraft infection one year on. We review the available literature and discuss the merits of different management strategies.
