Disease relevance of Aneurysm, Infected

• Fatal rupture of a mycotic aneurysm of the subclavian artery: an unusual complication of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus-aureus-related sepsis [1].
• Two weeks after complete hematopoietic recovery, an intracranial hemorrhage from a mycotic aneurysm of a brain vessel occurred, although the patient was still receiving itraconazole [2].
• A mycotic aneurysm is an uncommon, but serious, complication of infective endocarditis, occurring as a result of an infected embolus being lodged in the vasa vasorum or lumen of an artery [3].
• We discuss the therapeutic potential of renal embolization, as well as the risks of particulate and ethanol embolization, in the treatment of renal vascular hypertension from mycotic aneurysms [4].
• We report a patient who had an infected aneurysm of the lumbar artery caused by prolonged psoas abscess-forming spondylitis due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and who was treated successfully with transcatheter arterial embolization [5].

High impact information on Aneurysm, Infected

• In previous models of mycotic aneurysm, the inflammation attributed to bacterial contamination was probably due to the lead-chromate pigment used [6].
• Ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta: a serious complication of intravesical instillation bacillus Calmette-Guerin therapy [7].
• Peripheral mycotic aneurysms can occur when septic emboli lodge in either the lumen or the vasa vasorum of a peripheral vessel [8].
• The resection of a mycotic aneurysm in a patient with concurrent cardiac valvular disease was carried out successfully using high dose fentanyl-oxygen anesthesia followed by immediate postoperative naloxone reversal [9].
• Candida albicans mycotic aneurysm associated with systemic lupus erythematosus [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Aneurysm, Infected

• Ruptured mycotic aneurysm: a complication of parenteral drug abuse [11].
• Localization of 67Ga citrate in a mycotic aneurysm [12].
• The patient was successfully treated with resection of the infected aneurysm, placement of an axillo-bifemoral graft, and prolonged antibiotic treatment (doxycycline and streptomycin) [13].
• Mycotic aneurysm visualized on technetium-99m venogram [14].
• Indium-111 WBC scan to diagnose mycotic aneurysm [15].

Gene context of Aneurysm, Infected

• Mycotic aneurysm of the celiac trunk: from early CT sign to rupture [16].
• F-18 FDG PET-CT imaging of a mycotic aneurysm [17].
• Surgical considerations in aortitis. Part II: Mycotic aneurysms [18].
• Angiography showed mycotic aneurysm typical for cerebral gnathostomiasis one of the major causes of intracranial haemorrhage in children in Thailand. This diagnosis was confirmed by detecting specific antibodies against Gnathostoma spinigerum in serum and CSF by Western blot [19].
