Endocarditis-related tibioperoneal trunk pseudoaneurysm managed with endovascular treatment - case report

Abstract Tibioperoneal trunk aneurysms are rare and the majority of them are pseudoaneurysms This report describes an unusual case of a pseudoaneurysm secondary to bacterial endocarditis diagnosed and treated several years previously. After ruling out ongoing infection, the patient was successfully treated by percutaneous covered stent implantation. In this scenario, the use of endovascular techniques offered a safe and effective alternative treatment.

摘要：胫腓干动脉瘤（Tibioperoneal trunk aneurysms）临床较为罕见，其中绝大多数为假性动脉瘤（pseudoaneurysms）。本报告报道一例特殊病例：患者数年之前曾被诊断为细菌性心内膜炎（bacterial endocarditis）继发假性动脉瘤并接受治疗。在排除活动性感染后，患者通过经皮覆膜支架植入术成功接受治疗。本案例中，血管内技术为该病症提供了一种安全有效的替代治疗方案。
