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 ...
متن کاملMyocardial 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...
