Infrarenal aortic reconstruction using autologous femoral vein for a mycotic aneurysm caused by Streptococcus equi
A common source of infection in equine, Streptococcus equi, is an uncommon pathogen in humans, rarely identified as the cause for mycotic aortic aneurysms. Typically associated with consumption of unpasteurized milk or contact with horses, S. equi can result in severe bacteremia, endocarditis and me...

description | A common source of infection in equine, Streptococcus equi, is an uncommon pathogen in humans, rarely identified as the cause for mycotic aortic aneurysms. Typically associated with consumption of unpasteurized milk or contact with horses, S. equi can result in severe bacteremia, endocarditis and meningitis. We describe the presentation and successful management of a 69-year-old retired equestrian who underwent infrarenal aortic resection and reconstruction using autologous right femoral vein for a S. equi mycotic aneurysm. |
