In recent years, mycotic aortic aneurysms have been increasingly treated successfully by endovascular means. The introduction of custom-made fenestrated and branched devices, parallel graft techniques, and in situ fenestration has enabled total endovascular treatment also for arch pathologies. We describe a total endovascular repair of a mycotic arch aneurysm with in situ laser fenestration using venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to preserve flow to vital organs.

Mycotic aneurysms are a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of infections, particularly those involving the spine. Spondylodiscitis, a bacterial or fungal infection of the intervertebral disc, is a known risk factor for the development of mycotic aneurysms. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- Mycotic aneurysms are localized expansions of blood vessels caused by infections that weaken the vessel walls, making them serious but rare medical conditions.
- They can arise from bacteria invading healthy blood vessels or infecting existing abnormalities like aneurysms or plaques.
- The case of a four-year-old with an abdominal aortic mycotic aneurysm and pericarditis highlights the diagnostic challenges due to non-specific symptoms, along with a discussion on risk factors and treatment options.
