Surgical triumph over mycotic threat: Managing a superior mesenteric artery aneurysm complicated by endocarditis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: endocarditis, found incidentally to have a 2.1-cm saccular SMA aneurysm on computed tomography angiography. Given its infected appearance and complex branching, open resection with reversed saphenous vein interposition graft was performed. Recovery was uneventful. This case highlights early recognition, imaging, and the role of open repair in infected, anatomically challenging SMA aneurysms.
