Abstract
Mycotic aneurysms, a rare condition (0.6–1.3% incidence), pose significant mortality
risks if untreated, even with surgical intervention. Diagnosis challenges arise from
nonspecific presentations. An integrated approach involving clinical suspicion, examinations,
inflammatory markers, blood culture, and imaging is crucial. While emerging endovascular
treatments exist, conventional methods like surgical resection remain pivotal. This
report highlights a unique case—a ruptured infected aortoiliac aneurysm caused by
Vibrio cholerae—successfully treated with an endovascular strategy. The patient demonstrated favorable
outcomes during a 17-month follow-up period.
