RESUMEN
Introducción. Los aneurismas micóticos continúan siendo una entidad clínica muy poco frecuente en el campode nuestra especialidad y un desafío en su tratamiento por la elevada morbimortalidad derivada de ellos y de las característicasdel propio paciente. Caso clínico. Varón de 65 años que fue remitido urgentemente a nuestro centro por hallazgode reciente aparición de un aneurisma de aorta torácica de morfología y localización atípica durante una tomografía axialcomputarizada (TAC). Entre sus antecedentes destacaba que era un paciente inmunosuprimido por diabetes mellitus y unlinfoma tratado hacía un año. Dos meses antes de realizarse la TAC para el control del linfoma, había presentado un cuadrode diarrea y bacteriemia por Salmonella que se trató con antibióticos, sin remisión clínica completa. Ante los antecedentesclínicos de inmunosupresión y bacteriemia por Salmonella y los hallazgos radiológicos, la alta sospecha diagnósticafue de aneurisma micótico en la aorta torácica y se decidió tratar al paciente mediante una endoprótesis aórtica y antibioterapiaprolongada. No hubo complicaciones durante el procedimiento ni en el postoperatorio. El paciente se encuentraasintomático y con excelente evolución clínica desde hace tres años. Conclusión. El tratamiento endovascular combinadocon una antibioterapia prolongada puede ser una alternativa al tratamiento quirúrgico convencional con toracotomíaen el manejo de los aneurismas micóticos en la aorta torácica descendente(AU)
ABSTRACT
Introduction. Mycotic aneurysms are still a very rare clinical condition within our speciality and theirtreatment poses a challenge due to the high rates of morbidity and mortality deriving from them and the characteristicsof the patients themselves. Case report. A 65-year-old male who was referred to our centre urgently after a recent aneurysmwith an abnormal morphology and location was discovered in the thoracic aorta during the course of a computerisedaxial tomography (CAT) scan. Relevant events in the patient’s history included his being immunosuppressed because ofdiabetes mellitus and a lymphoma that had been treated a year earlier. Two months before performing the CAT scan tomonitor the lymphoma, he had presented diarrhoea and bacteraemia due to Salmonella, which was treated withantibiotics, although without full remission of the clinical symptoms. In view of the clinical history of immunosuppressionand bacteraemia due to Salmonella and the findings in the imaging studies, the main diagnostic suspicionwas a mycotic aneurysm in the thoracic aorta and the decision was made to treat the patient by means of an aortic stentand prolonged antibiotic therapy. There were no complications during the operation or in the post-operative period. Thepatient has been asymptomatic and his clinical course has been excellent for the last three years. Conclusions. Endovasculartreatment combined with prolonged antibiotic therapy can be an alternative to conventional surgical treatmentinvolving a thoracotomy in the management of mycotic aneurysms in the descending thoracic aorta(AU)
