Percutaneous graft stent closure of a Profunda femoris mycotic aneurysm secondary to infective endocarditis: a case report
Mycotic aneurysms require urgent and aggressive management due to the risk of rupture. While surgical repair remains the standard of care, endovascular approaches such as graft stent placement offer a viable alternative in haemodynamically unstable patients or those with high surgical risk. This case highlights the importance of timely diagnosis, appropriate antibiotic therapy, and individualized interventional planning to achieve favourable outcomes.
