Hemothorax due to Ruptured Mycotic Aneurysm of Intercostal Arteries Associated with Infective Endocarditis
We present a case of hemothorax due to ruptured mycotic aneurysm in three intercostal arteries in a 40-year-old male with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis (IE) due to intravenous drug use. Microcoil embolization and thoracotomy successfully achieved hemostasis. Mycotic aneurysm is a rare complication of IE and is usually found in the intracranial vessels. Ruptu...
متن کاملAntibiotic therapy did not prevent the rupture of mycotic aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery.
Mycotic aneurysm of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is a rare complication of infective endocarditis. We report a case with infective endocarditis involving the aortic valve complicated by multiple septic embolisms. The patient was treated with antibiotics for 6 weeks. During preparation for surgical treatment, the patient developed acute abdominal pain and was diagnosed with a ruptured SM...
متن کاملDelayed Infective Endocarditis with Mycotic Aneurysm Rupture below the Mechanical Valved Conduit after the Bentall Procedure.
UNLABELLED The Bentall procedure is the gold standard for treating aortic dissection complicated with valvular and ascending aorta disease. Recent results for this procedure have been excellent; nearly 100% of patients remain free of infective endocarditis in long-term follow-up. We report a case of delayed Streptococcus agalactiae infective endocarditis complicated by mycotic aneurysm in a man...
متن کاملRuptured Intracranial Mycotic Aneurysm in Infective Endocarditis: A Natural History
Mycotic aneurysms are a rare cause of intracranial aneurysms that develop in the presence of infections such as infective endocarditis. They account for a small percentage of all intracranial aneurysms and carry a high-mortality rate when ruptured. The authors report a case of a 54-year-old man who presented with infective endocarditis of the mitral valve and acute stroke. He subsequently devel...
متن کاملLower extremity mycotic aneurysm in a patient with Listeria monocytogenes – associated prosthetic valve endocarditis
Introduction.Listeria monocytogenes is a rare etiology of infectious endocarditis with only 30 cases of prosthetic valve and about twice as many native valve infections described in the literature. We describe an unusual presentation of an endovascular embolic phenomenon with associated lower extremity mycotic aneurysm due to Listeria monocytogenes prosthetic aortic valve and aortic endograft i...
