Objective: Brucellosis-induced aortic aneurysm (BIA), as a rare yet highly life-threatening type of infectious aortic aneurysm, currently lacks standardized treatment protocols. The primary objective of this study is to thoroughly evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular therapy using a combination of covered stents and drug irrigation techniques for the treatment of BIA. This endeavor aims to provide a scientific basis for the clinical management of this disease.

Background: Pseudoaneurysms are rare vascular lesions that can form following injury to an artery. Damage to the artery can result in a hematoma surrounded by a layer of coagulation products. Intracranial pseudoaneurysms are particularly uncommon, comprising less than 1% of all aneurysms, and are often associated with traumatic brain injuries.

Introduction: Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is a lethal emergency. However, even with instant surgical repair, early mortality is up to 20%. ATAAD complicated by coronary artery involvement is considered rare but life-threatening because this can cause coronary artery malperfusion which results in acute myocardial infarction.

Background: Leadless pacemakers (LPs) are implanted into the right ventricular septum, eliminating intravascular complications associated with traditional pacemakers. They attach to the myocardium using 4 curved, self-expanding nitinol tines.
Case Summary: Our case highlights the rare occurrence of LP dislodgement into the pulmonary artery and the delayed development of a traumatic right ventricular apical pseudoaneurysm.
