Emphysematous aortic arch aneurysm infected with Salmonella: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Infected aortic aneurysm is a relatively rare disease that is extremely difficult to manage, resulting in a poor prognosis. We rescued a patient with Salmonella‐infected aortic arch aneurysm surrounded with a specific and massive emphysema, despite experiencing aortic rupture, including delayed esophageal perforation after surgery.
