RUPTURED MYCOTIC ANEURYSM AFTER VALVULAR AORTIC ENDOCARDITIS
Cardiovascular Surgery Unit - Ibn Rochd University Hospital
Casablanca- Morocco
It is wellknown that bacterial endocarditis gives a vascular complications as a mycotic aneurysm consequent to embolization. We report a rare case of ruptured femoral mycotic aneurysm threatening the life's patient. This is a 32 years old male who was admitted for aortic valve endocarditis. Ten days after starting antibiotics, the patient got a pulsatile mass in the left scarpa aerea witch increased rapidly. Echodoppler with angiography showed a ruptred femoral aneurysm. The patient was operated urgently. He underwent a femoral artery bypass using autogenous saphenous vein.
The causative organism was not found because the patient was already on antibiotics.
The surgical treatment was successful. The patient underwent an aortic valvular replacement 3 months later. The following up was without any problem 14 months later.
