Mycotic aneurysm of the celiac trunk: radical resection and reconstruction without prosthetic material.

The Authors report a case of mycotic aneurysm of the celiac trunk, originating from bacterial endocarditis on the mitral valve. The technique was excision and revascularization without interposition of any material: for the moment it is the first time that a mycotic aneurysm of the celiac trunk is treated in this manner. The post-operative course was normal.
