Abstract

Peripheral mycotic aneurysms are rare complications of infective endocarditis. The case of a 49-year-old man with a radial artery aneurysm in a context of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis in the postoperative period of mechanical aortic valve replacement by homograft is reported. After diagnostic confirmation by Doppler scan, we chose to resect the aneurysmal sac with termino-terminal anastomosis. At 2 years of follow-up he presented asymptomatic, with palpable radial pulse and thriphasic flow in the palmar arch and ulnar artery.
