[Primary infected aneurysm of the infra-renal aorta:in situ or extra-anatomic bypass?]. / Anévrisme primitivement infecté de l'aorte sous-rénale. Pontage extra anatomique ou in situ?

ABSTRACT

There is no agreement in the literature as regards the best treatment for primary infected aneurysms. There is agreement concerning in situ treatment, inlay graft for supra-renal aneurysms. For infra-renal localizations no consensus has been reached. Most Authors prefer biological grafts over prosthetic materials for infected grafts or primary infected aneurysms. We report here a case of primary infected aneurysm treated in two stages. An initial axillo-bifemoral bypass was followed one Month later by aneurysmectomy and wide debridement of infected tIssue. Results were good at two years.
