title: [Bacterial endocarditis complicated by popliteal and mesenteric aneurysms].
abstract: The authors report about one case of bacterial endocarditis complicated by fungal aneurysms in a superior mesenteric and a popliteal site. While the diagnosis was easy for the popliteal aneurysm, it was not so for the mesenteric aneurysm. Arteriography must have wide indications. The treatment of such aneurysms must always be medical, but surgical as well. The surgical tactics must be carefully discussed, and the restoration of vascular continuity with autologous venous material through an extra-anatomic course should be preferred.
