A Case of Common Iliac Artery Pseudoaneurysm Formation, Rupture, and Rectal Fistula Caused by Escherichia coli
Xiaojie Zhao, Ling Zhang, Aiqin Liu
TL;DR
A rare case shows how an Escherichia coli infection can cause a life-threatening artery rupture and rectal fistula, which can be treated with surgery and infection control.
Contribution
Highlights a rare clinical scenario linking E. coli infection to pseudoaneurysm rupture and rectal fistula.
Findings
Escherichia coli infection can lead to common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm formation and rupture.
Combining surgery with anti-infection strategies can be life-saving in such cases.
Abstract
When septic shock is combined with acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding, the rupture and bleeding of a common iliac artery pseudoaneurysm caused by Escherichia coli infection should not be missed. Active surgery combined with strict anti‐infection strategies can save lives.
