CIRC - Endovascular Treatment of Mycotic Aortic Aneurysm

"Endovascular Treatment of Mycotic Aortic Aneurysms A European Multicenter Study"

"Conclusions—Endovascular treatment of MAA is feasible and for most patients a durable treatment option. Late infections do occur, are often lethal, and warrant long-term antibiotic treatment and follow-up. Patients with non-Salmonella–positive blood cultures were more likely to die from late infection."
