Abstract | Infected or mycotic aortic aneurysms (MAAs) are a rare type of aneurysms. Due to the high risk of rupture, MAAs are life-threatening conditions. Early diagnosis and treatment are necessary, yet MAAs are usually found coincidentally. We report 10 patients with MAAs in whom macroscopically, similar coined-sized lesions of the inner aortic wall were seen in all cases. When a coin-sized lesion in the inner aortic wall is seen during open surgical repair of an aortic aneurysm, the surgeon should consider an infectious cause. Microbiological tissue samples should be collected, and additional targeted antibiotic therapy should be started. |
