Aneurisma micótico tardío de la femoral profunda

Carriquiry, Luis - Bergalli, Luis E. - Campos, Néstor - Abó, Juan C.

Resumen:

A case of left deep femoral aneurysm was successfully treated by the authors by applying a proximal ligature, opening and performing obliterative endoaneurysmorrhaphy. There follows discussion and acceptance of infections and mycotic origin of condition, with emphasis on its late onset; leading to the conclusion that the main accepted guidelines for treatment of this type of aneurysm should be modified.
