The typical infectious cause arises from a distant infection such as the heart, through either bacteremia or septic embolization [4]. It results from septic embolization of vegetations to the vasa vasorum of the arterial walls and spread of infection vertically across the arterials walls both inward to the intima, and outward through the vessel wall.
