Management of a large coronary artery aneurysm with graft-coated stent during the acute phase of myocardial infarction
Coronary aneurysms in adults are rare clinical entities. Herein, we presented a 54-year-old man who was admitted with an acute extensive anterior myocardial infarction. The emergency coronary angiography revealed an isolated large aneurysm at the proximal segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The patient was successfully treated with a graft-coated stent
متن کاملManagement of Catheter Induced Upper Limb Suppurative Thrombophlebitis in a Patient after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: a Case Report
Introduction: One of the important complications of peripheral venous catheters is suppurative thrombophlebitis that would be life threatening without treatment. In this report, we introduce a patient who developed purulent thrombophlebitis due to venous catheter in the upper limb after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Multiple abscess formation was developed on her upper limb after the th...
متن کاملManagement of renal abscess in a 5-year-old girl: A case report
Renal abscesses are rare in childhood. They have vague manifestations and any delay in proper diagnosis and treatment could lead to morbidity and mortality. We present a 5-year-old girl with multiple renal abscesses after pyelonephritis that lead to total nephrectomy due to multiple drug resistance. The renal abscess may have subtle symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment strongly prevents un...
متن کاملAn unusual case of hyalohyphomycosis due to Purpureocillium lilacinum in a patient with myasthenia gravis
Background and Purpose: Purpureocillium lilacinum (previously known as Paecilomyces lilacinus) and Paecilomyces variotii cause hyalohyphomycosis. Case report: In this study, we present a case of multiple subcutaneous abscesses of the lower limbs due to Purpureocillium lilacinum in a patient with myasthenia gravis and uncontrolled diabetes. Subcutaneous involvement of the lower limbs with thi...
متن کاملOPEN MANAGEMENT OF THE SEPTIC ABDOMEN
Severe intraabdominal infection associated with abdominal wall, intraperitoneal and remote organ complications, still carries an unacceptably high morality rate. In addition to the fundamental principle of eradication of the source of infection, various treatment modalities have been suggested to improve the commonly grave outcome. Amongst these, open management (OM) of the septic abdomen,...
متن کاملMultiple brain abscesses due to nocardia in an immunocompetent patient.
Nocardia cerebral abscesses are rare intracranial lesions. They account for only 1% to 2% of all brain abscesses. They are important in immunocompromised patients, but rarely occur in immunocompetent hosts. Here, we present a case of multiple primary brain abscesses with Nocardia in an immunocompetent patient, who was treated successfully with oral antibiotic therapy.
