title: [Mycotic aneurysm of the infrarenal aorta: surgical possibilities and results].
abstract: Between 1973 and 1990 eleven patients with mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta underwent surgery. Extra-anatomic axillobifemoral bypass with aortic ligation and aneurysm excision was performed in 5 patients, and in situ reconstruction in 6. There were 3 early and 3 late deaths. Regardless of the type of operation, surgery of mycotic aneurysm is followed by severe postoperative complications with high the early and the late mortality rates.
