Endovascular treatment of an iliac artery rupture caused by invasive Salmonella spondylodiscitis

The rate of non-typhoid Salmonella infections has increased remarkably in recent years. Endovascular system infection is one of the most serious forms of extraintestinal Salmonella infection. The abdomi- nal aorta is frequently involved, while bone and joint involvement are rarely seen. We present a rare case of successful endovascular treatment of a left iliac artery rupture and pseudoaneurysm both oc- curring due to the direct invasion of lumbar spondylodiscitis caused by Salmonella typhimurium.
