The aortic size above and below the mycotic aneurysm may be small. METHODS： A retrospective review was made of prospectively collected departmenta 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 ELSE stentgraffs. These are ancillary devices aimed at iliac extensions usually. CONCLUSIONS： This is to our knowledge the first case series of Cook Zenith ELSE iliac component endografts for the treatment of aortic mycotic aneurysms with small aortae, and short- and mid-term results are encouraging.展开更多
