Study of the Aortic and Large Arterial Vessel Infections

Condition(s) studied

Study summary

Aortic or large arterial vessel infections are rare but serious infections. Their management is based on French and American expert opinions. The quality of evidence supporting these guidelines is low because most publications on the subject correspond to case series and few interventional studies have been performed to validate their management. However, referral centres for vascular surgery are frequently solicited to give their opinion on patients suffering from mycotic aneurysms. In addition, the last few decades have seen the improvement of vascular surgery techniques allowing the management of more and more patients, often elderly and comorbid. There has therefore been an increase in the incidence of infectious complications associated with this care. It is therefore essential to participate in research on aortic and large arterial vessel infections. For this, a monocentric cohort study seems to be an essential first step to better understand the polymorphism and complexity of these patients.
