Endovascular repair of mycotic aortic aneurysms

• PURPOSE: We report our single-center experience of early and midterm outcome after endovascular repair of mycotic aortic aneurysms (MAA). METHODS: Case records were retrospectively reviewed of 11 patients who underwent endovascular repair of 13 MAAs between 2000 and 2007. The aneurysms were localized in the aortic arch in 1 patient, descending thoracic aorta in 4, suprarenal abdominal aorta in 3, and infrarenal abdominal aorta in 5. RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 27 months. A bleeding aortoesophageal fistula resulted in one in-hospital death
