Tuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the celiac artery. A case report.
We report a case of tuberculous pseudoaneurysm in the neck of the celiac artery involving the aorta. Recurrence of the aneurysm occurred after attempted direct repair. Therefore redo-surgery was performed, which involved resection of aneurysm and removal of the infected tissue with bilateral axillofemoral bypass.
