Treatment of a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm with the jailing technique
Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel
Purpose: We explored an innovative technique in treating mycotic aortic aneurysms.
Case report: 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.
