Abstract

We explored an innovative technique in treating mycotic aortic aneurysms. A patient presenting with severe back pain, vague abdominal pain, weight loss and decline in general health, was diagnosed with a contained-rupture of a suprarenal mycotic aortic aneurysm, as a complication of spondylodiscitis. Since the patient's health condition was too poor to perform an open aortic repair, we choose an alternative treatment option by coiling the aneurysm with the jailing technique. We observed a good clinical outcome.

Aneurysm

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

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm 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.
