Management of Unruptured Infectious Intracranial Aneurysms in Infective Endocarditis: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, International University of Health and Welfare Narita Hospital, Narita, JPN.
Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs) are rare lesions with fragile arterial walls located within the aneurysms, carrying a high risk of rupture. Standard management often involves antibiotic therapy and parent artery occlusion; however, the latter carries a significant risk of cerebral infarction. This report presents a case of an unruptured IIA following cerebral infarction, successfully treated with coil embolization while preserving the parent artery.

Microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) is a rare, autoimmune, small-vessel vasculitis usually described with the presence of perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA). It encompasses a broad spectrum of clinical features, including fatigue, weight loss, fever, arthralgia, skin lesions, and involvement of the lungs or kidneys. Ocular manifestations, however, are extremely rare.

The use of conventional contrast agents in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is often limited in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to potential nephrotoxicity. Ferumoxytol, originally developed for iron supplementation, has emerged as a promising alternative MR contrast agent that is safer for patients with CKD. This study aims to present our center's experience with ferumoxytol as a contrast agent in CKD patients.

Transplant Direct
February 2025
Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Background: Aortoiliac screening before kidney transplantation is suggested by some guidelines to select patients for transplantation and to assist surgical planning. We investigated the clinical outcomes of systematic screening for aortoiliac disease in potential kidney transplant candidates.
Methods: In this observational study, 470 potential kidney transplant candidates underwent aortoiliac computed tomography angiography.
Right atrial metastasis after renal cell carcinoma operation: a case report.
AME Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Oncology, Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, China.
Background: Treatment options for patients with high-risk metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (mccRCC) include immune checkpoint inhibitors and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), but clinical manifestations and treatment of these patients are rarely reported because patients with cardiac metastases and abrupt circulatory disorders are very rare and there are no precise guidelines to follow. In this study, we analyzed and discussed the clinical characteristics, related characteristics, pathogenesis and treatment strategies of patients with cardiac metastases of kidney cancer, so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac metastatic tumors.
Case Description: The patient was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and underwent surgical radical resection, no special treatment was performed after surgery.
