[Rupture of an infective aneurysm of the sub-renal abdominal aorta into the inferior vena cava. One case (author's transl)].
An aorto-caval fistula developed in a 62-year-old woman secondary to the rupture of an infective aneurysm of the aortic bifurcation. Treatment in relation to local and, above all, general infection is discussed, emphasising the value of epiplooplasty and prolonged appropriate antibiotic therapy. However, adequate follow-up is essential in order to be able to affirm cure, recurrence of the infectious process always being possible, even late.
