Mycotic aneurysms in intravenous drug abusers: the utility of intravenous digital subtraction angiography

PC Shetty, GA Krasicky, RP Sharma, BR Vemuri and MM Burke

Two-hundred thirteen intravenous digital subtraction angiographic (DSA) examinations were performed on 195 intravenous drug abusers to rule out the possibility of a mycotic aneurysm in a groin, neck, or upper extremity infection. Twenty-three surgically proved cases of mycotic aneurysm were correctly identified with no false positive results. In addition, six cases of major venous occlusion were documented. We present the results of our experience and conclude that DSA is an effective and cost-efficient method of examining this high risk patient population.
