Purulent pericarditis is a rare disease in the era of antibiotics, with Streptococcus pyogenes being a possible, though uncommon etiology. Even more uncommon are mycotic aneurysms secondary to group A strep purulent pericarditis and bacteremia. We report a case of an 18-year-old female with a history of strep pharyngitis develop Streptococcus pyogenes purulent pericarditis with subsequent ventricular fibrillation (VF). Following initial stabilization, she ultimately developed a 4.8 cm mycotic aneurysm of the ascending aorta, with resultant compression of the pulmonary trunk and right pulmonary arteries.

Concomitant surgery on the aortic arch with hypothermic cardiac arrest in the setting of heart transplantation (HTX) is extremely rare. A 67-year-old woman who suffered from ischemic cardiomyopathy was evaluated for HTX. Computed tomography showed diffuse soft and hard atheromatous plaques of the entire aorta. Upon allocation of an appropriate donor organ, the ascending aorta and the proximal aortic arch were replaced using hypothermic cardiac arrest at 28℃ prior to arrival of the donor heart and without clamping of the diseased recipient aorta. After uncomplicated postoperative course the patient was recovered without neurological complications.
