Infection of a popliteal aneurism by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus four years after a femoropopliteal bypass
Acta Angiologica 2012;18(3):116-117.
Abstract
The aim of the current study was to report the infection of a popliteal aneurism by methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) four years after surgical treatment using a femoropopliteal bypass with ligature of the proximal and distal ends of the aneurism. Recanalization of the aneurism had been diagnosed six
months prior to this report.
