Abstract
The term mycotic aneurysm involves an infection of secondary aneurysmal wall to bacterial endocarditis. The 63% of mycotic aneurysms of the superior mesenteric artery are due to embolism from a septic endocarditis. Although most of these aneurysms is diagnosed, due to the increase in diagnostic methods, even a quarter of the superior mesenteric artery aneurysms present with rupture, intestinal ischemia and hemodynamic instability by increasing the mortality and morbidity of this disease. We report the case of a patient came to our attention for abdominal pain, suffering from bacterial endocarditis, with diagnosis of the thrombosed superior mesenteric artery aneurysm.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
