A case of infected abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with liver abscess treated by endovascular stent / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

A 72-year-old diabetic male patient with high grade fever, right upper quadrant abdominal pain and Klebsiella pneumoniae septicemia is reported. He suffered from high fever and abdominal pain in spite of aspiration of liver abscess and antibiotic treatment. A few days later, we found a palpable pulsating abdominal mass on physical examination. Computed tomography and angiography revealed infected abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with pyogenic liver abscess. He was treated by antibiotics and Endovascular stent without surgical resection. He improved without complications and has been followed-up after discharge with excellent condition. To our knowledge, this is the first case of infected abdominal aortic aneurysm as a septic metastatic lesion secondary to liver abscess.
