[Management of mycotic aneurysms. Apropos of 3 cases].
The diagnosis of mycotic aneurysms remains rather difficult. When a mycotic aneurysm is found, two therapeutic measures should be taken without delay: on the one hand an antibiotherapy which is started preoperatively and continued at least six weeks postoperatively, and on the other hand a surgical intervention. In this review, the authors present three types of operations: ligation and excision of the aneurysmal mass, restoration of the arterial tree with a venous graft or extra-anatomical bypass with prosthetic material.
