Abstract

Historically, Streptococcus pyogenes was a common cause of endocarditis and infected aortic aneurysm. Today, endovascular infections due to this organism have become exceedingly rare. We report the first case of aortic aneurysm infection due to S. pyogenes treated with initial endoluminal repair, review previous reports and discuss current treatment options.
Keywords: Streptococcus pyogenes; aortic aneurysm infection; mycotic aneurysm Streptococcus pyogenes; aortic aneurysm infection; mycotic aneurysm
