Article Abstract
We describe the case of a man incidentally found to have a pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta at the site of a previously (12 years ago) implanted metallic prosthetic aortic valve. Transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomography images demonstrate the pseudoaneurysm. The patient has undergone surgical repair with a good result.

Background: Takayasu arteritis is a large-vessel vasculitis, in addition to giant cell arteritis. Various post-operative complications associated with the cardiac macrovasculature have been reported. Detachment of the prosthetic valve, pseudoaneurysm formation, and dilatation of the aortic root are well-known post-operative complications associated with vasculitis syndromes, including Takayasu arteritis.

This study reports the early outcomes of TBE®-TEVAR for acute indications.
Methods: Clinical data, imaging, and outcomes of patients treated with TBE®-TEVAR at seven institutions were retrospectively reviewed (March 2017- March 2024).

A 61-year-old female underwent ascending aortic replacement (resecting the primary entry in the ascending aorta) for Stanford type A acute aortic dissection 1 year and 8 months before. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on 17 days later. Follow-up recent computed tomography (CT) scans, however, revealed dissecting aortic aneurysm of the distal aortic arch due to a new entry at the distal anastomosis of the ascending replacement.

Concomitant presentation of purulent pericarditis and mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is exceedingly uncommon. We present a case of a 63-year-old male who presented to the emergency department after one week of severe neck pain along with pleuritic chest pain. He was found to have purulent pericarditis associated with a 0.

Article Synopsis
- * The study looked at 40 CTD patients who had TEVAR for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms or aortic dissections between February 2014 and April 2021, revealing most had previous aortic interventions and a significant number faced complications post-surgery.
- * Results showed a high reintervention rate (62.5%), with reinterventions typically occurring within the first year, and indicated ongoing risks for aortic-related issues, highlighting challenges in treating CTD patients
