ABSTRACT

Os aneurismas de aorta abdominal infecciosos (AAAIs) são raros e apresentam uma alta mortalidade devido à septicemia e ao risco de ruptura. A opção terapêutica consagrada consiste na correção aberta com ressecção do aneurisma, debridamento e reconstrução com veia autóloga. Mais recentemente, alguns grupos vêm relatando séries de casos nas quais se realizou tratamento endovascular. Em ambas as opções, a antibioticoterapia adjuvante é imperativa. Relatamos um caso ilustrativo em que o tratamento de escolha foi a cirurgia aberta com reconstrução utilizando-se veia autóloga.


Infected abdominal aortic aneurysms are rare and have high mortality due to sepsis and the possibility of rupture. The treatment of choice is open repair with aneurysm resection, debridement and reconstruction with an autologous vein graft. More recently, case series have been described in which the endovascular approach was the first option. With both approaches adjuvant antibiotic therapy is imperative. We report an illustrative case in which the treatment was open surgery reconstruction using an autologous vein graft.
