BACKGROUND:Endovascular repair of mycotic aneurysm is an alternative to open repair if the patho-anatomy is suitable.The aortic size above and below the mycotic aneurysm may be small.METHODS:A retrospective review was made of prospectively collected departmental computerised database.RESULTS:Three oriental patients with juxta-and infra-renal mycotic aortic aneurysms with a small aortic diameter of 17 mm to 18 mm underwent successful emergency endovascular treatment using Cook~ Zenith ESLE stentgrafts.These are ancillary devices aimed at iliac extensions usually.CONCLUSION:This is to our knowledge the first case series of Cook~ Zenith ESLE iliac component endografts for the treatment of aortic mycotic aneurysms with small aortae,and short-and mid-term results are encouraging.
