Abstract

Ductus arteriosus aneurysm (DAA) is rare in adults, but often involves life-threatening complications. Open repair is common, but is invasive and relatively dangerous. With the continued development of endovascular devices, we can now choose endovascular repair for DAA. However, endovascular repair for infected lesion is controversial. We report a successful case of thoracic endovascular aortic repair with perioperative antibiotic therapy for infected DAA in a 59-year-old man.

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

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
