Mycotic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (AAP) is an uncommon but surgically challenging problem with a high morbidity and mortality rates. We describe endovascular repair of an acute mycotic AAP in a high-risk patient. A 45-year old man, HIV serum positive, chronic hepatitis HBV and HCV related, presented, after two sternotomies, with a fast growing 11 6 cm AAP that was sealed with two Gore Exluder aortic cuffs, inserted from the left axillary artery. Nine months control CT continued to show no endoleak with shrinking of the AAP.

Abstract
Mycotic ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (AAP) is an uncommon but surgically challenging problem with a high morbidity and mortality rates. We describe endovascular repair of an acute mycotic AAP in a high-risk patient. A 45-year old man, HIV serum positive, chronic hepatitis HBV and HCV related, presented, after two sternotomies, with a fast growing 11 6 cm AAP that was sealed with two Gore Exluder aortic cuffs, inserted from the left axillary artery. Nine months control CT continued to show no endoleak with shrinking of the AAP.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
