Zusammenfassung:Open surgery is the elective treatment for mycotic aneurysms of the aorta. This surgery consists of resection of the aneurysm, debridement and revascularization with an in situ or extra-anatomic bypass. Even when surgery has been successful, the morbimortality is raised and the endovascular treatment has become an alternative for specific patients. When mycotic aneurysms involved the visceral arteries, more complex techniques are necessary such as fenestrated endovascular aortic repair or chimmeny endovascular aortic repair and the most frequent complications of this are endoleaks and oclussion the visceral arteries. We present a case of a pacient with a paravisceral abdominal mycotic aneurysms that was result with 2 chimney technique(in the right renal and superior mesenteric arteries) and a single Nellix EVAS(Endologix, Irvine, Calif) of 12 cm long without evidence of endoleaks in the follow-up.
