Abstract
Most syphilitic aneurysms involve the ascending aorta. Those involving the descending aorta are less common, and those involving the abdominal aorta are unusual. Rarer yet, we present the case of a 40-year-old man with HIV and a history of syphilis with a thoracoabdominal aneurysm. The patient underwent antiretroviral therapy before elective open repair. His postoperative course was uneventful, and he was discharged home. Pathology demonstrated medial necrosis. Postoperatively, he was seen well in our multidisciplinary aorta center clinic. Today's vascular surgeons should be cognizant of cardiovascular syphilis. Successful care requires awareness of atypical presentations in addition to multispecialty care.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
