title: [Infectious aneurysm of the abdominal aorta caused by Salmonella: diagnosis, endovascular therapy].
abstract: The authors present a case of an infected abdominal aortic aneurysms by means of a minimally invasive endovascular method using a stent graft. This patient had already been treated by TIPS (transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt) for repeated varicose bleeding due to liver cirrhosis. Standard surgical therapy of infected abdominal aneurysms and about advantages and possibilities of endovascular treatment with stent grafts are discussed. Regular follow-up of the patient and long-term antibiotics therapy are important for accurate assessment of an implanted stent graft into the infected abdominal aorta. Endovascular stent graft combined with antibiotic therapy may be an alternative to conventional open surgery in managing infected infrarenal abdominal aneurysms.
