Case Report: Endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysm aorta and generalized mycobacterial infection (clinical case).

ABSTRACT: Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for only 0.7%-1.3% of all aortic aneurysms but remain a life-threatening vascular complication, with in-hospital mortality rates reaching 36%. Immediate surgical intervention is required due to the high risk of rupture. Standard management combines targeted antimicrobial therapy with a radical resection of infected tissues and vascular reconstruction, yet the choice of optimal surgical strategy in elderly, comorbid patients remains controversial. Endovascular interventions are pivotal in the treatment of patients at high risk of infections, offering a minimally invasive approach that reduces the likelihood of complications and improves treatment outcomes. In this study, we report the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with severe lumbar pain. He was di
