Abstract

Traditional surgical treatment of a peripheral mycotic aneurysm has included emergency ligation and bypass. Occlusion of vessels just proximal and distal to a mycotic aneurysm can be safely accomplished via percutaneous embolization with coils. Surgery can be performed electively in a noninfected field. Coils can be placed near the site of vessel disruption minimizing loss of collateral flow.
