Here we describe a case involving an elderly man with Citrobacter
freundii-associated infectious rupture of a dissecting thoracoabdominal
aortic aneurysm. We performed emergency thoracoabdominal aortic
replacement using a rifampicin-soaked prosthetic graft and omental flap
wrapping. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 255, although
he experienced pseudomembranous enteritis and paraplegia.27 Mar 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 27 Mar 2021Submission Checks Completed
