OBJECTIVE
To explore the diagnosis and surgical treatment of infectious abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA).
METHODS
All 3 IAAA patients at our department in 2010 underwent the combined procedures of axillary-bilateral femoral arterial bypass and IAAA resection. Their clinical data were collected and analyzed.
RESULTS
There was no intraoperative death or complication. On average, the operative duration was 5 hours and the estimated blood loss 1500 ml. All patients received a 2-week post-operative regimen of antibiotics. And they recovered with healed incision in the first intention. No fever, abdominal symptom or intermittent claudication occurred during a 4-month follow-up period.
CONCLUSIONS
Axillary-bilateral femoral arterial bypass plus IAAA resection is an effective surgical procedure for resecting IAAA, assuring arterial blood supply to lower limbs and preventing post-operative graft infections. The short-term therapeutic efficacy is satisfactory, but its long-term efficacy requires further follow-ups.
