Outcomes were compared between the open surgery and endovascular groups, and a Cox's proportional hazard model was used to determine factors associated with mortality.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003A total of 29 patients included 14 received open surgery and 15 received endovascular repair. Positive initial bacterial blood culture results included Salmonella spp., oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Mortality within 1\u2009month of surgery was higher in the open surgery than in the endovascular group (43 vs. 7%, respectively, p\u2009=\u20090.035). Shock, additional surgery to repair gastrointestinal (GI) or airway pathology, and aneurysm rupture were associated with a higher risk of death. Compared with patients without resection surgery, the adjusted hazard ratio of death within 4 years in patients with resection for GI\/bronchial disease was 0.25. Survival within 6 months was better in the endovascular group (p\u2009=\u20090.016).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003The results of this study showed that EVAR\/thoracic EVAR (TEVAR) is feasible for the management of infected aortic aneurysms complicated by an AEF or ABF, and results in good short-term outcomes. However, EVAR\/TEVAR did not benefit long-term survival compared with open surgery.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0037-1608834","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,5]],"date-time":"2017-12-05T18:40:14Z","timestamp":1512499214000},"page":"240-247","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Role of Endovascular Aortic Repair in the Treatment of Infected Aortic Aneurysms Complicated by Aortoenteric or Aortobronchial Fistulae"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"66","author":[{"given":"Hsin-Ling","family":"Lee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu-Jen","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Kuo General Hospital, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chung-Dann","family":"Kan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, National Cheng Kung University Hospital, College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,5]]},"container-title":["The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0037-1608834.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,1]],"date-time":"2018-04-01T18:30:55Z","timestamp":1522607455000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0037-1608834"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,5]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"03","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,4]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0037-1608834","relation":{},"ISSN":["0171-6425","1439-1902"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0171-6425","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-1902","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,5]]}}}
