Successful Endovascular Treatment of an Infected Aortic Aneurysm Induced by Klebsiella pneumoniae
Aortic aneurysms infected by Klebsiella pneumoniae are rarely seen. We describe a 50-year-old man with infected aortic aneurysm that was successfully treated with endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Diagnosis was confirmed using blood culture and computed tomography (CT). Intravenous antibiotics...

| description | Aortic aneurysms infected by Klebsiella pneumoniae are rarely seen. We describe a 50-year-old
man with infected aortic aneurysm that was successfully treated with endovascular aneurysm
repair (EVAR). Diagnosis was confirmed using blood culture and computed tomography (CT).
Intravenous antibiotics were immediately administered, with improvements in clinical findings
and negative blood cultures before the procedure. Twenty-four months after the procedure,
the patient was stable and serial CT revealed regression of the infected aortic aneurysm. Therefore,
after controlling bacteremia and fever with targeted antibiotic therapy, EVAR can be considered
as an alternative for patients who have serious comorbidities and are ineligible for conventional
surgery. |
