A 43-day-old boy presented with bacteremia after umbilical artery catheterization. Duplex ultrasound examination revealed a 1.1- × 1.6-cm mycotic infrarenal aortic aneurysm and an incidental asymptomatic occluded right common iliac artery. Resection and repair were completed by creating an everted, double-layered internal jugular vein patch. Screening ultrasound examination 10 months postoperatively demonstrated successful repair.

“…There are multiple approaches described for treating AAAs in children: endovascular approach with stent grafting, open repair with the use of a prosthetic material, a cryopreserved human allograft, an aortoplasty with a patch or simple ligation of the distal and proximal ends of the aneurysm. 2 , 7 , 12 – 14 They are all not suitable for treating mycotic aneurysms, which make it a case-by-case decision in the absence of recommendations and treatment algorithms.…”

Mycotic aortic aneurysms are exceedingly uncommon in infants and they have a high risk of rupture. Their surgical management is extremely challenging. We report a case of a 22-month-old girl who presented with abdominal pain and fever revealing a ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the infrarenal aorta. The surgical treatment consisted of a ligature of the proximal and distal ends of the aneurysm. Postoperative course was significant for hypertension. A year and a half follow-up showed no other complications. Limited data are available concerning our chosen technique, but the reported cases showed a good short-term outcome.

“…The cause of pediatric AAA can be categorized as infected, inflammatory, congenital (prenatal), genetic (tuberous sclerosis, inherited vasculopathy), trauma, or idiopathic [ 1 ]. Infected AAA is the most common type of AAA in children, frequently associated with umbilical artery catheterization or cardiac catheterization [ 2 , 3 ]. Because of the rarity, the natural history of pediatric AAA is not well-known.…”

Pediatric vascular disease is rare, and remains a big challenge to vascular surgeons. In contrast to adults, surgery for pediatric vascular disease is complicated by issues related to small size, future growth, and availability of suitable vascular conduit. During the last 30 years, 131 major vascular operations were performed in a tertiary referral center, Seoul National University Hospital, including aortoiliac aneurysm, acute or chronic arterial occlusion, renovascular hypertension, portal venous hypertension, trauma, tumor invasion to major abdominal vessels, and others. Herein we review on the important pediatric vascular diseases and share our clinical experiences on these rare diseases.
