Management of infectious endocarditis with mycotic aneurysm evaluated by brain magnetic resonance imaging.

OBJECTIVES Cerebral complications of infective endocarditis (IE) [particularly, mycotic aneurysm, visualized as a hypointense spot on T2*-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] are associated with a high incidence of postoperative cerebral or subarachnoid hemorrhage. We have adopted a policy of performing elective open heart surgery after performing a MRI enhanced by gadolinium in suc...

Mycotic innominate artery pseudoaneurysm complicating mitral endocarditis.

A 59-year-old man developed a fast-growing mycotic innominate artery pseudoaneurysm complicating medically-treated mitral endocarditis caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. The pseudoaneurysm was revealed by ultrasound of the supra-aortic trunks and confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography (Fig. 1). The surgical treatment was performed with resection of the pseudoaneurysm ...

Myocardial Infarction and Aortic Root Mycotic Aneurysm Complicating Aortic Valve Endocarditis: Utility of Cardiac CT

Aortic mycotic aneurysms are a rare but life-threatening potential complication of infective endocarditis. Rapid deterioration of the vascular wall in highly focal areas makes these pseudoaneurysms particularly prone to rupture, resulting in uncontrolled aortic hemorrhage. While computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of mycotic aneurysms, it i...

[Mycotic aneurysm of the left ventricular free wall complicating aortic valve endocarditis].

We report the case of a 34-year-old man with aortic valve infective endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, complicated by an aortic annular abscess. A 23-mm St. Jude HP aortic mechanical prosthesis was implanted. The pre-discharge echocardiogram revealed a mycotic aneurysm of the basal posteroinferior wall, confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and it was...
