Mycotic subclavian artery aneurysms are rare but challenging pathology. We report a 67-year-old woman who presented with recurrent bacteremia secondary to chronic clavicular osteomyelitis. Imaging demonstrated a right subclavian artery aneurysm near the innominate artery bifurcation and in close proximity to the infected clavicle. Owing to the anatomic location, among other factors, she underwent open repair using a rifampin-soaked Dacron conduit. Analysis of the aneurysm wall identified bacteria consistent with intraoperative bone and blood cultures. Contributions from multiple surgical and medical specialties provided a favorable, long-term outcome for the patient.

Endovascular single-branched stent graft to treat complicated type B aortic dissection involving aortic arch anomalies.
Eur J Med Res
December 2024
Department of Peripheral Vascular Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, No. 277, Yanta West Road, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Background: The optimal treatment of complicated type B aortic dissection (cTBAD) involving arch anomalies remain unclear.
Methods: We consecutively enrolled patients with cTBAD involving arch anomalies who underwent endovascular repair using a single-branched stent graft (SBSG) at our medical center between January 2020 and January 2023. The demographics, clinical manifestation, operation detail, and follow-up outcomes of these patients were retrospectively collected and analyzed.
Comparative analysis of arterial involvement in predominant cranial and isolated extracranial phenotypes of giant cell arteritis using F-FDG PET-CT.
Arthritis Res Ther
December 2024
Department of Rheumatology, Hospital Universitario de Bellvitge. Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL), Barcelona, Spain.
Objective: To investigate differences in arterial involvement patterns on F-FDG PET-CT between predominant cranial and isolated extracranial phenotypes of giant cell arteritis (GCA).
Methods: A retrospective review of F-FDG PET-CT findings was conducted on 140 patients with confirmed GCA. The patients were divided into two groups: the cranial group, which presented craniofacial ischemic symptoms either at diagnosis or during follow-up, and the isolated extracranial group which never exhibited such manifestations.
