Abstract
used for intravesical treatment of bladder carcinoma. Aortic infection has been rare. In the present report, we have described the case of a patient with an infrarenal mycotic aortic pseudoaneurysm and para-aortic abscess after intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin and cystectomy. Sampling of the abscess demonstrated acid-fast bacilli. Given the hostile anatomy of the abdomen, he was offered endovascular aortic repair. A thoracic endograft was used to cover the lesion. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 2 without incident. He was seen at 1 and 6 months with resolution of his pseudoaneurysm found on the imaging studies. The technique shows promise for stabilizing such lesions with close surveillance.
