We present a case of leaking mycotic aneurysm abdominal aorta complicated by infective endocarditis in young boy 14 years age. This with history rheumatic heart disease vegetations on mitral valve and severe regurgitation landed up complications like femoral artery thrombo embolism followed an aortic contained rupture. was successfully managed addressing two problems i.e. repair single sitting.

A 12-year-old Chinese girl was demonstrated multivessel distortion and malformation: aortic coarctation with the narrowest lumen diameter measuring of 4 mm located between the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery, a huge and thin-walled aneurysm is connected to the coarctation, and the descending aorta was distorted. Cerebrovascular revealed distorted arteries and a complet...

The value of two dimensional echocardiography in identifying communications between the-ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk or individual pulmonary arteries was assessed in 24 children, all ofwhom had either angiocardiographic and surgical or angiocardiographic confirmation alone. Fourteen cases had truncus arteriosus, four aortopulmonary window, four anomalous origin of the left pulmonary arte...

Conflict of interest: none declared. Figure 1: The anterior view of volume-rendering image with semitransparent skeletal system, aorta and kidney shows that the left ICA 9, which is the origin of the artery of Adamkiewicz (arrow), is occluded proximally at the aorta. This image also shows collateral circulation to the artery of Adamkiewicz via the left inferior epigastric artery (IEA), the left...

Nutcracker syndrome is a rare condition that refers to compression of left renal vein (LRV) between abdominal aorta and superior mesenteric artery. The most common location of compression is between the superior mesenteric artery (SMA; Pic. 1) and abdominal aorta. The name derives from the fact that, in the sagittal plane and/or transverse plane, the SMA and aorta (with some imagination) appear...

An 82-year-old man suffering from lower back pain and dyspnea presented to our institute in a state of shock. Computed tomography showed subtotal occlusion of the descending aorta with massive atherosclerotic calcification. As the proximal portion of the superior mesenteric artery was obstructed, emergency bypass from the right axillary artery to the bilateral external iliac arteries was perfor...

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation. Right intra lobar PS with a feeding artery arising from the abdominal aorta is extremely rare. This case report describes a 30-year-old man with a history of mental deficiency and repeated pneumonia who was referred to our hospital for further work-up of PS. Three-dimensional enhanced computed tomography of the chest and aorta reve...

OBJECTIVE The correlation between the extent of fatty streaks, more advanced atherosclerotic lesions, and community rates of coronary artery disease (CAD) is substantially higher for the coronary artery compared to the aorta. We sought to determine whether a genetic basis contributes to these differences. APPROACH AND RESULTS We conducted a cluster analysis of 6 subclinical atherosclerosis ph...
