Infected aortic aneurysms

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1985
Salmonella organisms have been responsible for half of the reported cases of infected aortic aneurysms, although other bacteria have been incriminated. This is the second reported case in which Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus apparently infected an inflammatory aortic aneurysm. In this 70-year-old man the organism was isolated and treated prior to

Management of Infected Aortoiliac Aneurysms

Archives of Surgery, 1991
A 30-year retrospective review identified 13 patients treated for infected aneurysms of the abdominal aorta or iliac arteries, for an overall incidence of 0.65%. A constellation of clinical findings led to the correct preoperative diagnosis in 11 (85%) of 13 patients.

Ruptured Infected Popliteal Artery Aneurysm

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1995
We describe an unusual presentation of an infected popliteal aneurysm. To our knowledge rupture of an aneurysm associated with Salmonella at this site has not previously been reported. The management of infected aneurysms is discussed.

Infected Aortic Aneurysms: Imaging Findings

Radiology, 2004
To determine the imaging characteristics of infected aortic aneurysms.Review of records of patients with surgical and/or microbiologic proof of infected aortic aneurysm obtained over a 25-year period revealed 31 aneurysms in 29 patients. This study included 21 men and eight women (mean age, 70 years).

Consecutive Infected Aneurysms Caused by Salmonella

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 1988
Treatment of infected aneurysms consists of operation, which depends on the location and pathologic type, and antibiotic therapy, before and at least six weeks following operation. The authors present a case of two consecutive aneurysms occurring in a patient with Salmonella infection. Full recovery was obtained after surgical excision of the aneurysms,

Surgical management of infected aneurysms

The American Journal of Surgery, 1962
Abstract A complete series of eighty-four infected aneurysms obtained from the literature and personal experience, and by questionnaire has been analyzed for factors which influence the success of repair. Ligation of the artery and resection of the aneurysm are preferred whenever possible.

Surgical treatment of infected aortic aneurysm

The American Journal of Surgery, 1998
We report results of infected aortic aneurysms treated by a single group over 20 years.Retrospective review.Seventeen patients were treated, 10 with infrarenal and 7 suprarenal infections. All had abdominal/back pain, 88% were febrile, 71% had leukocytosis, and 24% were hemodynamically unstable.

Multiple Intracranial Aneurysms in HIV Infection

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2016
Neurological findings in HIV are common and include cognitive impairment, microcephaly, nonspecific white matter lesions and seizures. Cerebral vasculopathy and stroke are uncommon and may be due to primary HIV vasculopathy or opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis and cryptococcal meningitis.

Histoplasma Infection of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

Annals of Surgery, 1983
Fungal endarteritis resulting from progressive disseminated histoplasmosis may cause arterial aneurysms, or lead to infection of pre-existing aneurysms. Three patients with Histoplasma capsulatum infections of abdominal aortic aneurysms are reported. All had previous disseminated histoplasmosis and atherosclerotic peripheral vascular disease.

Infected Aneurysms of the Abdominal Aorta

Archives of Surgery, 1980
Infected aneurysms of the abdominal aorta are relatively uncommon, but potentially lethal if improperly managed. Two case reports emphasize the importance of the preoperative aortogram for accurate diagnosis. We stress the principles of total excision of infected tissue and revascularization in uninfected tissue planes. A useful vascular reconstructive
