Fig 1 A and B, A computed tomography (CT) scan showed patient 7, an 81-year-old man, had osteomyelitis and a Salmonella-infected abdominal aortic aneurysm with contained rupture. C, He received an aortouniiliac endovascular stent graft with femorofemoral bypass surgery. D, Later, he underwent CT-guided percutaneous drainage and then a minilaparotomy for open debridement due to persistent fever with spinal osteomyelitis. E and F, A follow-up CT angiography 13 months later showed the osteomyelitis still persisted, even though the EVAR stent graft was intact without any specific symptoms.

Fig 2 Serial computed tomography scans are shown for patient 6, who had a Salmonella-infected abdominal aortic aneurysm and received the endovascular aortic repair, CT-guided percutaneous drainage adjunctive procedure, and prolonged antibiotics treatment. At 1 year later, the psoas abscess had completely resolved. Journal of Vascular Surgery , 55-60DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2012 Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions
