Management and Prevention of Percutaneous Iliac Stent Infection: A Case Report

Annals of Vascular Surgery
Tahir WissanjiChristophe Vindevogel

Abstract

A 52-year-old man was admitted in the emergency department for deteriorating mental status and suspicion of discitis. Computed tomography and positron emission tomography scan showed evidence of localized infection of the aortic bifurcation and blood cultures were positive for Staphylococcus aureus. Ten years ago, the patient underwent placement of covered metal stents on each common iliac artery due to arteritic stenosis. The infected material was removed and aortic bifurcation repaired using an autologous femoral vein graft. This case report describes the surgical procedure, patient outcome, and review on prevention of such complications.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
