Study of mycotic aorto-iliac aneurysms and their surgical repair
Long Term Results of Aorto-iliac Mycotic Aneurysms
Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · NCT05777447
This study looks at patients with a rare type of infected aneurysm in the aorta to see how different surgical repairs can improve their outcomes and help doctors treat these serious conditions better.

What this trial studies
This observational study focuses on patients with primary mycotic aorto-iliac aneurysms who have undergone in situ surgical repair. It aims to gather data on the incidence and management of these rare but serious infections, which can lead to high mortality if untreated. The study will analyze various therapeutic strategies, including open surgical repair and endovascular aortic repair, to better understand outcomes and improve treatment protocols. By documenting these cases, the study seeks to enhance knowledge about mycotic aneurysms and inform future clinical practices.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with primary mycotic aorto-iliac aneurysms who have undergone in situ repair.
Not a fit: Patients with vascular graft infections or secondary aorto-enteric fistulas may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical strategies and outcomes for patients with mycotic aorto-iliac aneurysms.
How similar studies have performed: While mycotic aneurysms are rare, previous studies have shown varying success with surgical interventions, indicating that this area of research is important but may not be extensively tested.
