The application of the drug flushing covered stent grafts in endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms caused by brucellosis
The diagnosis of Brucella-induced aortic aneurysm is prone to being overlooked, and some patients present with severe conditions at their initial diagnosis. Therefore, emphasizing early diagnosis and timely antibacterial treatment is crucial for containing disease progression. The application of endovascular repair with drug flushing covered stent grafts combined with long-term, regular antibiotic therapy has proven to be a safe, effective, and feasible treatment option for Brucella-induced aortic aneurysm, worthy of widespread promotion and application in clinical practice.
