title: [Endovacular treatment of mycotic iliac aneurysm].
abstract: No gold standard exists in the treatment of mycotic aorto-iliac aneurysms. Surgical debridement and revascularization with bypass remain as the most definitive surgical solution, but also carry a relatively high risk of perioperative morbidity as compared to an endovascular approach. We present a case story with a mycotic a. iliac aneurysm treated successfully with an endoluminal covered stent graft. The patient had severe co-morbidity that ruled out open surgery.
