Successful stent graft repair of multiple thoracoabdominal mycotic aortic aneurysms in the presence of Kommerell diverticulum and complicated by aortoesophageal fistula

We describe the management of a woman who presented with synchronous mycotic aortic aneurysms of the aortic arch in the presence of Kommerell diverticulum, the distal thoracic, and the juxtarenal aorta. A staged stent graft repair was undertaken due to rapid expansion of the aneurysms, which involve...

Zusammenfassung:We describe the management of a woman who presented with synchronous mycotic aortic aneurysms of the aortic arch in the presence of Kommerell diverticulum, the distal thoracic, and the juxtarenal aorta. A staged stent graft repair was undertaken due to rapid expansion of the aneurysms, which involved placement of multiple thoracic quadruple-fenestrated and infrarenal bifurcated stent grafts. Despite complications of an aortoesophageal fistula and transitory spinal cord ischemia, she has been managed successfully and is doing well at 36 months. This case illustrates that stent graft repair of mycotic aneurysms can offer a successful treatment option in selected patients.
