Infected aneurysms of aorta
Infected aortic aneurysms are rare .most infected aortic aneurysms occur
in elderly men.Saccular aneurysms are seen most
commonly .Operative mortality in patients with
infected aortic aneurysms remains high .
Epidemiology of Infected aortic aneurysms
Infected abdominal aortic aneurysms were first described in 1935 and account for 5 to 10% of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
The lesions are usually infrarenal and often lead to ureteral obstruction (owing to the densely adherent fibrotic mass surrounding the vessel ).
Epidemiology of Infected aortic aneurysms
In a large series of 2816 patients undergoing repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, 127 (4.5%) had inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Most patients (123/127) were men and heavy smokers.
Pathogenesis
The most common cause of an infected aneurysm is direct deposition of circulating bacteria in a diseased, atherosclerotic, or traumatized aortic intima, after which organisms penetrate the aortic wall through breeches in intimal integrity to cause microbial arteritis.
Pathogenesis
Recent reports suggest that the majority of aortic infections occur in patients with impaired immunity as a consequence of chronic disease, immunosuppressive therapy, or immune deficiency.
A septic embolus from bacterial endocarditis was once the most common etiology but has become rare in the era of efficacious antibiotic treatment of septicemia.
Microbiology
Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella species are consistently the most frequently identified organisms.
Salmonella commonly infects atherosclerotic arteries but may also adhere to a normal aortic wall and directly penetrate an intact intima.
Microbiology
Secondary aortic infection may develop in 1/4 of patients > 50 y/o who experience Salmonella bacteremia.
Aortic infections with unusual organisms are now seen with increasing frequency in the overtly immunocompromised population.

Clinical Manifestations
Fever is present in over 70% of the patients.
Back pain or abdominal pain each occur in about a third of the cases(30 to 50% ).
A draining cutaneous sinus may be present.
Clinical Manifestations
Leukocytosis and an Elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (in 73% of the cases)
weight loss The aneurysm is palpable in 50 to 60%
of the cases and almost always tender . The onset is insidious, and a low-
grade fever may be present for several months before diagnosis .
Clinical Manifestations
The nonspecificity of the clinical manifestations is reflected by the 75% preoperative rupture rate .
Rupture may occur into the retroperitoneal space or peritoneal cavity (56%), pleural cavity (9%), duodenum (12%), esophagus (6%), mediastinum (3%), or pericardium (3%).
Clinical Manifestations
A tender and pulsatile abdominal mass in a febrile patient should be considered an infected aneurysm until proved otherwise.
The natural of Infected aortic aneurysms history is expansion and eventual rupture, with extremely rapid progression.
Clinical Manifestations
Salmonella and gram-negative infections have a greater tendency to early rupture and death.
Overall mortality from infected aortic aneurysms is over 50 % despite advances in therapy.
Diagnosis
Blood cultures are helpful in suggesting the diagnosis and identifying the pathogen (though 25 % negative) .
Abdominal ultrasonography.Aortography is generally performed
preoperatively to assist in surgical planning.
Diagnosis
CT scanning (superior in demonstrating associated pathological findings suggestive of an infectious etiology ).
Sometimes the aorta is normal in size when first evaluated, if fever,leukocytosis, and pain persist, follow-up imaging should be performed because the aorta may rapidly dilate during the course of the infection.
Diagnosis
Management
Infected aortic aneurysms are treated with intravenous antibiotics and surgical excision.
Antibiotic therapy must be continued postoperatively for at least 6 weeks.
Management
The standard surgical approach involves
1.Resection of the infected aneurysm and
infected retroperitoneal tissue,
2.Oversewing of the native aorta as stumps
3.Restoration of distal perfusion by placement of an extra-anatomical bypass graft tunneled through unaffected tissue planes to avoid placing a graft in a contaminated region.

Surgical mortality in patients with infected aortic aneurysms
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this study was to examine the possible contribution of infection-related risk factors and the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to outcomes of patients with infected aortic aneurysms.

Surgical mortality in patients with infected aortic aneurysms
STUDY DESIGN: 10 patients with infected aortic aneurysms presenting to our
institution over a recent 6-year period were studied. RESULTS:
7 patients met criteria for SIRS 4 patients died of sepsis , and 6 patients survived to
discharge after a mean of 23 ± 12 days in the hospital . The combination of SIRS and suprarenal extension was
present in all four patients who died.

Surgical mortality in patients with infected aortic aneurysms
CONCLUSIONS: 1. Although rare, infected aortic aneurysms are
associated with marked morbidity and mortality .
2. Sepsis is the leading cause of death.3. A combination of host- and infection-
specific variables may be more predictive of outcomes than any single risk factor.
4. Longterm outlook is good after successful treatment.

OBJECTIVE: Review the management and results of
patients with infected aortic aneurysms and identify clinical variables associated with poor outcome.
METHODS: The clinical data and early and late outcomes
of 43 patients treated for infected aortic aneurysms during a 25-year period (1976-2000) were reviewed.
Oderich GS - J Vasc Surg - 01-NOV-2001; 34(5): 900-8
Infected aortic aneurysms: aggressive presentation, complicated early outcome, but durable results.
CONCLUSION: 1. Infected aortic aneurysms have an
aggressive presentation and a complicated early outcome.
2. Late outcome is surprisingly favorable, with no aneurysm-related deaths and a low graft-related complication rate .
3. In situ aortic grafting is a safe and durable option in most patients.
