Abstract
Here we describe a case involving an elderly man with Citrobacterfreundii -associated infectious rupture of a dissecting
thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm. We performed emergency
thoracoabdominal aortic replacement using a rifampicin-soaked prosthetic
graft and omental flap wrapping. The patient was discharged on
postoperative day 255, although he experienced pseudomembranous
enteritis and paraplegia.
