Late-onset mycotic aneurysm of brachial artery secondary to infective endocarditis: case report.

Infective endocarditis remains a dreaded and severe disease because of its course, its complications, its need for good antibiotic management, as well as its morbidity. Peripheral mycotic aneurysm is a rare complication of infective endocarditis. We report the case of a 62-year-old female patient who presented with Streptococcus SPP infective endocarditis treated by antibiotics.

Concomitant renal and splenic infarctions in a COVID-19-patient with a catastrophic thrombotic syndrome.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, thrombotic events have been accurately described in patients infected by the SARS-CoV-2, especially venous thromboembolism. However, the mystery of arterial thrombosis is still unclear. Here, we report the case of a 59-year-old man with diabetes mellitus, admitted for COVID-19-pneumonia complicated by pulmonary embolism, a thrombus in the aortic isthmus, the descending thoracic aorta associated with splenic and left renal infarctions, and an acute right limb ischemia.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome: a case report with literature review.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome generally causes calf claudication in young active adult. It is resulting of the anatomical relationship between the popliteal artery and adjacent muscles or fibrous bands in the popliteal fossa. We present the case of a 36-year-old male with left calf claudication limb in whom popliteal artery entrapment syndrome was diagnosed, and successfully treated surgically.

Concomitant acute limb ischemia and multiple acute ischemic strokes complicating COVID-19: a case report.

Since the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, cardiovascular complications are interestingly increasing, particularly thrombotic events, especially in those requiring intensive care. Venous thromboembolism is well known to occur in patients infected by the SARS-CoV-2, but only a few arterial thromboembolism cases have been previously reported. Herein, we report the case of a COVID-19 complicated by a concomitant acute right limb ischemia and multiple acute ischemic strokes.
