Cryopreserved venous allograft in the treatment of a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by group B Streptococcus

We report a case of a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by invasive group B streptococcus. Given the anatomical suitability with healthy segments of aortoiliac vessels, in situ repair was performed. A cryopreserved femoral vein graft was chosen because of risks of graft reinfection and negate...

description We report a case of a mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm caused by invasive group B streptococcus. Given the anatomical suitability with healthy segments of aortoiliac vessels, in situ repair was performed. A cryopreserved femoral vein graft was chosen because of risks of graft reinfection and negated the need for bilateral femoral vein harvest. The patient remained clinically well and the graft patent with no concerns at 6 months of follow-up. A review of literature on group B Streptococcus aortitis was performed.
