A common source of infection in equine, , is an uncommon pathogen in humans, rarely identified as the cause for mycotic aortic aneurysms. Typically associated with consumption of unpasteurized milk or contact with horses, can result in severe bacteremia, endocarditis and meningitis. We describe the presentation and successful management of a 69-year-old retired equestrian who underwent infrarenal aortic resection and reconstruction using autologous right femoral vein for a mycotic aneurysm.

Introduction And Importance: Leriche syndrome (LS), or aortoiliac occlusive disease, is a rare form of peripheral arterial disease leading to claudication, impotence, and diminished femoral pulses due to atheromatous obstruction of the infrarenal aorta and common iliac arteries. Early identification is crucial as untreated LS can result in severe complications. Treatment primarily involves surgical interventions, with endovascular options considered as alternatives.

Background: Despite advancements in valve implantation devices, vascular access complications (VAC) remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for those undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). We describe pre-operative imaging analysis of the aortoiliac and femoral arterial beds using the TransAtlantic intersociety consensus (TASC) score, ilio-femoral tortuosity, and procedural characteristics to identify anatomic risk factors predictive of VAC in TAVR.
Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing TAVR from 2012 to 2022 at a single North Dakota hospital were retrospectively reviewed.

With improved surgical outcomes for non-ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), the primary objective has shifted toward the detection of asymptomatic AAA. Since ultrasonographic visualization from the anterior abdominal wall is often obstructed by intestinal gas, utilizing additional bilateral posterior approaches via the retroperitoneal tissue may be beneficial. This study investigates the feasibility of assessment using three approaches through computed tomography (CT) data analyses.

Spontaneous non-aneurysmal aortic rupture is rare and is usually attributed to penetrating aortic ulcers, infections, tumor infiltrations, or inflammatory and collagen diseases. Chronic rupture is infrequent but extremely rare in non-aneurysmal aortas, which makes diagnosis difficult because the absence of an aneurysm can mislead the physician to rule out rupture. Here, we describe the case of an 85-year-old male, who was undergoing oncological investigation for weight loss, inappetence, and back pain.
