Abstract
Case report: A patient with history of endovascular aortic aneurysm repair and urosepsis presenting systemically unwell with hip pain, later diagnosed as a psoas abscess communicating with the aneurysmal sac.
Conclusion: There is a relationship between urosepsis and stent graft infection. Interventional procedures require careful planning and there is a role for prophylactic antibiotics. Surgeons should be vigilant to the possibility of late onset infection of variable presentation.
