Deskripsi
We report a case of infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis in an endovascular aneurysm repair stent graft placed 4 years earlier for an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Tuberculous infection of aortic stents or grafts is not reported but should be considered in tuberculosis endemic countries in patients with suspected stent infections and negative blood cultures.
