The Management of Ruptured Mycotic Suprarenal Aortic Aneurysm: A Report of Successful Surgical Repair

Abstract

Ruptured suprarenal aortic aneurysms represent a huge challenge for surgeons. So far, developing endovascular procedures have failed to totally replace open repair when debranching is to be performed. The authors report their experience in the management of a ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the suprarenal aorta in a 36-year-old female patient diagnosed with active tuberculosis.
