Introduction
Infectious aortic aneurysms are relatively rare and account for
0.7%–3.0% of all aortic aneurysms.1 However,
surgical management protocols for such cases are not well defined, and
postoperative infection control remains a concern.
Infectious aneurysms caused by Citrobacter
freundii 2 are rare. Herein, we report a case of
infectious rupture of a dissecting thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm
(TAAA) caused by C. freundii , which was successfully treated with
anatomical revascularization using a rifampicin-soaked prosthetic aortic
graft and omental flap wrapping.
