Infection with fatal outcome after endovascular metallic stent placement

E Therasse, G Soulez, P Cartier, L Passerini, P Roy, L Bruneau and L Gaboury
Department of Radiology, Hopital Hotel-Dieu de Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The authors describe a case in which infection developed in a patient after placement of a metallic endoprosthesis in the iliac artery. The patient died of respiratory failure secondary to sepsis. Imaging studies did not reveal an abscess, aneurysm, or stent occlusion. Stent cultures and hemocultures grew Staphylococcus aureus. As with any foreign body, infectious complications may occur after insertion of metallic stents and should be recognized as soon as possible to initiate appropriate therapy.
