Introduction
Mycotic aortic aneurysms are a rare presentation of aortic disease, taking account of less than 1% of all aneurysms in the Western World1,2. Conventional treatment consists of open aneurysm repair, however, this has become less popular due to favourable outcomes of endovascular stent grafting4,5. In this case report we describe a severe and lethal course following endovascular endografting of a mycotic thoracic aneurysm.
