Kim and Kim: Mycotic Aneurysm of Abdominal Aorta Causing the Right Renal Arterial Stenosis: Case Report

Abstract

Mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is a rare disease. Despite intensive antibiotic therapy, rupture leads to a high mortality rate, so early diagnosis and treatment is very important. Rupture is the most common complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm, while renal artery stenosis is very rare. We report the radiologic findings of mycotic aneurysm of the suprarenal abdominal aorta leading to right renal artery stenosis induced by mass effect and renovascular hypertension.
