We report a case of 74-year-old man presenting with a rupture of a thoracic aortic false aneurysm after undergoing conventional total arch replacement for aortic arch aneurysm (62 mm) and endovascular stent placement for descending aortic aneurysm (70 mm). His chief complaints at the present admission were fever and sensation of dyspnea and we put him on a course of antibiotics for stent graft ...

The generally accepted treatment for infected aortic aneurysms involves open surgical resection and debridement, with in situ or extra-anatomical bypass. Occasionally, endovascular management can be substituted for the standard operation dependent on the patient's condition. We report the case of an 81-year-old female with a ruptured infected aortic aneurysm and sepsis, successfully treated end...

A 72-year-old man was admitted to the local hospital with a 2-day history of abdominal pain and mild back pain with low-grade fever. Computed tomography (CT) without contrast enhancement demonstrated a fusiform abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) of 45×48 mm in the infrarenal aorta and a nephrolith with ectatic renal pelvis. Therefore, antibiotics were given intravenously for 6 days for a diagnosis...

A retrospective, single-center review was performed from 2001 to 2018. Seventeen patients with infected aortic aneurysms (10 ruptures, 11 saccular) were treated by endovascular repair in 13 (endovascular aneurysm [EVAR], n = 9; surgeon-modified fenestrated EVAR, 4) and open 4 patients. The 1- 5-year overall survival 94% 75%, respectively. infection-free 88% 63%, management of the selective use ...

Abstract Introduction Mycotic extracranial carotid artery aneurysms are rare and their management variable due to a lack of evidence assessing outcomes. We undertook systematic literature review assess this. Methods Following PRIMSA guidelines, MEDLINE EMBASE databases were searched for all cases between January 1970 March 2021. The search terms used infect, abscess, mycotic, carotid, aneurysm,...

possible; unlike this case involving an active and growing left-sided lesion w3x. While this case demonstrated a successful outcome using a staged strategy, this may not have occurred if certain factors had changed (persistence of the bacteremia, worsening heart failure, evidence of new emboli, or aneurysmal growth). With the involvement of several consultants, closely monitored progress, and a...

Background and Aim: In-hospital rebleeding and early aneurysm rupture are major causes of mortality and morbidity in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Rebleeding may occur at the referring hospital, during transfer or at the referral neurovascular center prior to surgical or endovascular treatment. However, there has been no report regarding the rate of in-hospital rebleeding and early aneury...
