Article Synopsis
- - Fungal endocarditis is an uncommon but severe complication that can occur after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
- - A case study is presented involving a 75-year-old patient who developed this condition due to the fungus Candida albicans.
- - The patient's situation was further complicated by the formation of an aortic pseudoaneurysm.
Background: Most of the evidence about the impact of the post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) reports individual symptoms without correlations with related imaging.
Objectives: To evaluate cardiopulmonary symptoms, their predictors and related images in COVID-19 patients discharged from hospital.
Methods: Consecutive patients who survived COVID-19 were contacted 90 days after discharge.
Few data from Latin American centers on clinical outcomes in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome who required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are published. Moreover, clinical and functional status after hospital discharge remains poorly explored in these patients. We evaluated in-hospital outcomes of severe COVID-19 patients who received ECMO support in two Brazilian hospitals.

The available evidence is limited to outpatients with mild disease. Here, we evaluated 412 patients (age: 60 ± 16 years, 65% males) consecutively admitted to two Hospitals in Brazil due to confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
