Case report reveals management of an infectious aortic pseudoaneurysm in an immunocompromised patient, indicating the need for early recognition.

To discuss the rare case of infectious aortic pseudoaneurysm secondary to tuberculosis in an immunocompromised patient.
Patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and end-stage renal disease presenting with post-dialysis fever.
Diagnosis through computed tomography angiography revealed a descending thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm.
Surgical intervention with thoracic endovascular aortic repair was followed by left thoracotomy to address an endoleak.
Analysis of aortic tissue confirmed tuberculous aortitis using GeneXpert.
Persistent fever and abdominal pain in the patient after the procedure.
Post-TEVAR CTA indicated a type III endoleak requiring further surgical intervention.
Renal-adjusted antitubercular therapy led to favorable clinical and imaging outcomes.

Pardo-Olivares et al. (2026) studied this question.
