Abstract
Non-typhoid salmonella is one of an important bacterial causes of gastrointestinal diseases. Bacteremia and other forms of extra-intestinal Salmonella infection are among the most serious complications. Endovascular invasion is unusual but fatal, which needs early diagnosis and surgical intervention. We reported a case of nontyphoid Salmonella bacteremia complicated with mycotic aneurysm. The patient had undergone endovascular repair and long-term antibiotics treatment. The size of the mycotic aneurysm decreased 2 months later. Early surgical intervention is proven to decrease mortality rate. Endovascular treatment is a promosing procedure and more outcome data is needed to establish its role in the treatment of mycotic aneurysm.
