ABSTRACT

Introducción: presentamos un caso inusual de rotura aórtica múltiple secundaria a espondilodiscitis por Staphylococcus aureus sensible a meticilina. Caso clínico: varón de 71 años que ingresa en nuestro hospital para el estudio programado de una espondilodiscitis T7-T8 refractaria a tratamiento empírico antibiótico. El decimoquinto día de su ingreso el paciente presenta una hematemesis masiva con dos paradas cardiorrespiratorias. Tras ser reanimado en dos ocasiones, se realiza una endoscopia en el quirófano que sugiere la presencia de una fístula aortoentérica primaria. A su vez, en una tomografía computarizada de seguimiento se evidencia sangrado activo en la aorta torácica. Realizamos una angiografía diagnóstica en la que apreciamos tres puntos de ruptura aórtica. Se precisa la implantación de endoprótesis cubiertas para el control del sangrado: un dispositivo en la aorta torácica (Gore C-TAG®) y otro a nivel abdominal (Aortic Begraft®). Discusión: la aortitis es una complicación poco común de la espondilodiscitis con una tasa alta de mortalidad. Un alto índice de sospecha es clave para su temprano diagnóstico y tratamiento. La antibioterapia es obligatoria y el tratamiento endovascular puede usarse como terapia puente en emergencias. Es un procedimiento rápido que permite la estabilización hemodinámica del paciente antes de una cirugía abierta aórtica definitiva.(AU)


Introduction: we present an unusual case with multiple aortic ruptures secondary to methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus thoracic spondylodiscitis. Case report: the patient was a 71-year-old man admitted to our hospital for scheduled study of an infectious spondylodiscitis D7-D8 refractory to empirical antibiotic therapy. Fifteen days after admission, the patient began with massive hematemesis. After being resuscitated from two cardiac arrests, an endoscopy was carried out in the operating room suggesting presence of a primary aortoenteric fistula and, at the same time, in a follow-up computed tomography an active bleeding in thoracic aorta was shown. We performed a diagnostic angiography; three different sites of rupture were observed and two covered endogfrats were placed for bleeding control of thoracic and abdominal aorta: one device in thoracic aorta (Gore C-TAG®) and another one in abdominal aorta (Aortic Begraft®). Discussion: aortitis is an uncommon complication of spondylodiscitis, with a high mortality rate. A high index of suspicion is key to its diagnosis and prompt treatment. Antibiotherapy is mandatory and endovascular treatment can be used as a bridge therapy in emergency, it is a fast procedure that can secure hemodynamical stabilization prior to definitive aortic open repair.(AU)
