Mycotic Aneurysms

A 71-year-old male with a past medical history of coronary artery bypass surgery developed multiple, infected pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta and aortic root 1 year after cardiac catheterization. He underwent aortic root replacement with a 24-mm homograft. Tissue culture from operative specimens revealed invasive Aspergillus fumigatus infection. He was treated with voriconazole for 3 months. After 1 year, he had no recurrence of symptoms, pseudoaneurysm, or fungal infection.

Insight Into

An epicardial mesothelial cyst, which can be defined as a mesothelial cyst attached to the epicardium surrounding the heart and the great vessels inside the pericardial sac, is a rare condition. We herein report a case of epicardial cyst, which was attached to the ascending aorta. The patient was a 76-year-old male who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery, and the cyst was found incidentally. It was approximately 5 cm in diameter, and histological examination confirmed mesothelial cell origin. The ascending aorta has not previously been reported as the origin of an epicardial mesothelial cyst. This case gives new insight into the embryology of these cysts

Relevance. Acute kidney injury (AKI) worsens the prognosis of myocardial infarction (MI). Aim. To study the characteristics of cardiovascular (CVD) risk factors in men under 60 years of age with AKI in myocardial infarction (MI) to improve prevention. Material and methods. The study included men aged 19-60 years old with type I MI. Patients are divided into two age-comparable groups: I - the study group, with ACI - 25 patients; II - control, without it - 168 patients. A comparative analysis of the frequency of observation of the main and additional CVD risk factors in groups was performed. Results. In the patients of the study group, more often than in the control group, the following was observed: MI in winter (68.0 and 36.3%, respectively; p = 0.01), with repeated cases - the interval between infarction of more than one year (48.0 and 29.8%; p = 0.04); psychoemotional stress (64.0 and 46.1%; p = 0.04) or hypertensive crisis as a situation provoking MI (28.0 and 19.2%; p = 0.04); a history of: overweight less than 10 years (72.0 and 35.7%; p = 0.002) with moderate obesity (48.0 and 22.6%; p = 0.03), chronic heart failure (36.0 and 14.0%; p = 0.006), peptic ulcer (32.0 and 13.7%; p = 0.01), unstable angina (64.0 and 42.6%; p = 0.003), peripheral angiopathies (80.0 and 56.5%; p = 0.02), coronary angiography (45.5 and 25.5%; p = 0.04) and coronary artery bypass surgery (24.0 and 8.6%; p = 0.009). Conclusions. The structure of CVD risk factors in men under 60 years old with MI and AKI is characterized by the prevalence of moderate obesity, gastroduodenal ulcers, chronic heart failure, stress and crisis course of hypertension, coronary angiography and a history of coronary artery bypass surgery, as well as MI in winter. It is advisable to use the listed combinations of factors in predictive modeling and planning of preventive measures in such patients.
