- A 54-year-old woman was admitted with recurrent abdominal pain and new chest pain, leading to the discovery of a thoracic aortic aneurysm, suspected to involve intramural hematoma or aortitis.
- Initial conservative treatment was followed by surgical intervention after imaging suggested intramural hematoma, but surgery revealed severe aortitis without hematoma, indicating complex diagnostic challenges.
- Further examination identified IgG4-related disease linked to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach and various diagnostic methods to accurately assess aortic conditions.

- - A 71-year-old male developed an infected Gore Excluder stent graft following trans-caval embolization for a type II endoleak, which was complicated by rapid sac enlargement and difficult-to-diagnose inflammation.
- - After two weeks of pre-surgery optimization due to the patient's high surgical risk, the infected graft was surgically removed, revealing adhesion to nearby intestines, and the patient recovered with only minor postoperative issues.
