Primary mycotic aneurysms of the aorta are a rare but life-threatening condition. A 59-year-old woman developed a back abscess secondary to an insect bite. A computed tomography scan revealed 3 concomitant mycotic aneurysms, including a rupture. Staged repair was undertaken: immediate open repair for contained rupture of a type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, followed by endovascular repair of a descending thoracic aneurysm 3 weeks later and finally an aortic arch hybrid repair of a left subclavian artery aneurysm 16 months later. She remains well postoperatively. There is currently no consensus on the timing of repair or modality of treatment of mycotic aneurysms. Each patient should be treated individually based on aneurysm location, rupture, and comorbidities, as shown by this case.
主动脉原发性真菌性动脉瘤是一种罕见但危及生命的疾病。一名59岁女性因昆虫叮咬继发背部脓肿。计算机断层扫描显示同时存在3个真菌性动脉瘤,其中1个破裂。采取了分期修复:立即对IV型胸腹主动脉瘤的局限性破裂进行开放修复,3周后对降主动脉瘤进行血管腔内修复,最后在16个月后对左锁骨下动脉动脉瘤进行主动脉弓杂交修复。她术后恢复良好。目前对于真菌性动脉瘤的修复时机或治疗方式尚无共识。如本病例所示,应根据动脉瘤位置、破裂情况和合并症对每位患者进行个体化治疗。
