Thoracic endovascular aortic repair with perioperative antibiotic therapy for infected ductus arteriosus aneurysm in an adult

Abstract

Ductus arteriosus aneurysm (DAA) is rare in adults, but often involves life-threatening complications. Open repair is common, but is invasive and relatively dangerous. With the continued development of endovascular devices, we can now choose endovascular repair for DAA. However, endovascular repair for infected lesion is controversial. We report a successful case of thoracic endovascular aortic repair with perioperative antibiotic therapy for infected DAA in a 59-year-old man.
