Mycotic Celiac Artery Aneurysm Following Infective Endocarditis: Successful Treatment Using N-butyl Cyanoacrylate with Embolization Coils

Ann Vasc Dis. 2012;5(2):208-12. doi: 10.3400/avd.cr.11.00052.

Abstract

Mycotic celiac artery aneurysm following infective endocarditis is extremely rare and, to our knowledge, only four cases have been reported in the literature to date. We describe the case of a 60 year-old man who developed a mycotic aneurysm of the celiac artery, which was detected by computed tomography (CT) following an episode of infective endocarditis. He successfully underwent endovascular isolation and packing of the aneurysm using N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBCA) with embolization coils.

Keywords: embolization; mycotic celiac artery aneurysm; n-butyl cyanoacrylate.
