Mycotic Aneurysms Involving Tibioperoneal Trunks Caused By Infective Endocarditis With Staphylococcus: A Case Report And Review Of The Literature

Authors : Taleb Bendiab Soufi Nabila .

Abstract

Mycotic aneurysms involving tibioperoneal trunk arteries are very rare. Ruptured aneurysms are particularly uncommon and represent a surgical or endovascular emergency. We describe a case of 27- year-old woman who presented with a 4 cm ruptured aneurysm of the tibioperoneal trunk 20 days after an episode of bacterial endocarditis for Staphylococcus aureus. Our surgical approach included resection of the aneurysm,debridement of infectious tissue and arterial reconstruction with tibiofemoral bypass followed by the aortic valve surgery .
