Endovascular Management of Mycotic Aortic Aneurysms and Associated Aortoaerodigestive Fistulas

We evaluated the short- and intermediate-term results of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for mycotic aneurysms. We reviewed all patients undergoing EVAR for mycotic aneurysms at our institution. To be consistent with the existing literature, patients with associated aortoaerodigestive fistulas w...
