Development of Simultaneous Anastomotic False Aneurysms at Both Ends of an Autologous Vein Graft caused by Methicillin-Resistent Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)

Abstract Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is a well recognised problem, especially in vascular surgical patients with synthetic bypass grafts. This is to our knowledge the first report in the literature of the development of anastomotic false aneurysms at both ends of an autologous vein graft, as a result of MRSA infection within the vascular wall.
