Listeria abdominal endograft infection miming pseudoaneurysm treated with in-situ aortic reconstruction: a case report
EUROPEAN REVIEW FOR MEDICAL AND PHARMACOLOGICAL SCIENCES(2022)
Abstract
We report the case of a 72-year old man previously treated with an aortic endograft for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. After 3 years the patient developed a sepsis. Imaging and blood exams detected an endograft infection related to Listeria monocytogenes. Patients underwent endograft removal and in-situ aortic reconstruction with a cryopreserved allograft. A continuous antibacterial therapy has been established. One-month follow-up revealed the absence of clinically relevant infection with patency of the graft and absence of biochemical inflammatory markers.
