Objective To summarize the therapeutic effects and feasibility of endovascular repair for infec-tious aortic aneurysms (IAA). Methods The clinical data of seven cases with IAA treated with endovascular repair between May 2006 and July 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Technical success was achieved in all ca-ses. Complete exclusion of the aneurysms was proved by DSA and no endoleaks appeared. No major complications oc-curred. All patients were followed up for 8 to 22 months with no evidence of aneurysms enlargement, stent-grafts mi-gration,endoleak and infection. Conclusion Endovascular repair of infectious aortic aneurysm is a minimally inva-sire, safe and feasible technique and provides good short-term results.
