Abstract
Open surgical repair of mycotic aneurysm is associated with a high surgical morbidity and mortality. The role of endovascular graft repair of mycotic aneurysm remains controversial because the graft material remains in contact with possibly infected tissue. We report an endovascular technique of customizing an abdominal endoluminal graft component to treat a suspected saccular thoracoabdominal mycotic aneurysm involving the takeoff of the celiac trunk.
