We herein report a rare case of mycotic aneurysm the superior mesenteric artery caused by <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i>. A 66-year-old man, known hypertension and aorto-oesophageal fistula with stented aorta in 2010 2018, presented to emergency department multiple times over 2 months severe postprandial abdominal pain associated vomiting fever. On his last presentation, obtained bloo...

Inflammatory aneurysms represent only 3–10% of all aortoiliac aneurysms and tend to be more common in men. We report a case of a solitary inflammatory aneurysm of the right common iliac artery in a healthy young woman. The patient presented with persistent abdominal and right flank pain. She had no risk factors for vascular disease, except mild hypertension and a strong family history of aneury...

Intravenous drug abuse is an increasing social and health problem. Repeated injuries to the veins, injection of some types of insoluble substances, and needle sharing habits result in various complications. Increasing incidence of major vascular complications has been reported worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the epidemiology of vascular lesions in drug abusers. Medical r...

ObjectiveTo investigate the use of cryopreserved arterial allografts (CAA) as a substitute for infected infrarenal aortic prostheses, and its outcomes.MethodsA single centre retrospective study consecutive patients receiving an abdominal CAA after removal graft was conducted between January 1997 December 2013. The primary outcome rate allograft related revision surgery. Secondary outcomes were ...

Arterial growth and remodelling (G&R) is mediated by vascular cells in response to their chemical and mechanical environment. To date, mechanical and biochemical stimuli tend to be modelled separately, however this ignores their complex interplay. Here, we present a novel mathematical model of arterial chemo-mechano-biology. We illustrate its application to the development of an inflammatory an...

Many cardiologists have usually operated percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease practically. Sometimes, complications following stent implantation rarely include thrombosis, rupture, sepsis and infected coronary aneurysm [Baddour, 2004; Berkalp, 1999]. Particularly, infected coronary aneurysm causes fatal outcome. In addition to contamination at the time of cathete...

High-density periaortic fluid (arrow) of 7 ϫ 7 the same density as muscle represented leakage of blood. B, Aneurysm of the right and left common iliac arteries (RI and LI, respectively), especially at the right side, with high-density fluid (arrows) around RI emphasizing evidence of leakage. Diagn...
