Abstract
Mycotic aneurysm affecting the tibioperoneal trunk is very rare. Only a few articles have reported bilateral mycotic aneurysms of the tibioperoneal trunk in the English literature. A 46-year-old man was suffering from consecutive bilateral mycotic aneurysms involving the tibioperoneal trunks after mitral-valve replacement for infective endocarditis. Each aneurysm was treated separately by a surgical approach, which included resection of the aneurysm, debridement of infectious tissue and arterial reconstruction using reversed saphenous vein graft. There was no recurrence of infection, and the graft remains patent. This is the first case of bilateral arterial reconstructions successfully performed for the tibioperoneal trunks.
