Fig 2 Patient #10 had a pararenal infected aortic aneurysm. (A) He received antibiotic treatment alone; and treatment was successful initially. (B) A rapid enlargement of the infected aortic aneurysm was detected in follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans 1 month after discharge. (C and D) He underwent a late hybrid operation (visceral debranching, rerouting, and endovascular grafting).

Fig 3 Patient #15 had abdominal discomfort, lower back pain, and elevated C-reactive protein levels 1 month after discharge. Follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans demonstrated reinfection with abscesses in the bilateral psoas muscles and no evidence of stent graft infection. He received another course of broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotic therapy and recovered uneventfully. He is well after 13 months of follow-up.
