“…Furthermore, microbiological genetics are sometimes astonishing, and we know that certain subtypes of the same bacterial spectrum share similar genetic characteristics, as in the Clostridium genus. According to the literature, clostridia infections are often reported to be associated with malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal or hematopoietic system, especially CS and CD subtypes [10][11]. Therefore, CP could also be implicated in the risk of developing colonic neoplasia.…”

In the past decade, advancements in endovascular techniques have revolutionized the management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). However, along with these advancements, clinicians face a rising incidence of complications, notably infections of vascular prostheses. Mycotic aortic aneurysm (MAA) represents a rare yet potentially life-threatening complication characterized by infection-induced damage to the native aorta. While microbiology predominantly implicates skin commensals, various pathogens, including Clostridium perfringens (CP), have been reported. Markedly, no cases of MAA caused by CP involving prosthetic material have been documented. Here, we present a unique case of a 76-year-old patient with MAA and abdominal prosthetic aortitis caused by Clostridium perfringens, accompanied by a comprehensive literature review.
