AI Article Synopsis

  • Public health challenges related to certain infections have predominantly impacted developing nations.
  • A less-studied mycobacterium strain primarily affects animals and has been rarely linked to infections after aortic aneurysm repair.
  • The case presented emphasizes the crucial role of advanced imaging techniques in diagnosing aortic graft infections following surgery.

Article Abstract

has presented public health challenges since its inception, primarily affecting developing nations. Much less is known about , a member of the mycobacterium family more frequently affecting zoonotic species. Infections postaortic aneurysm repair are rare, and few cases have reported infection secondary to the lesser-known mycobacterium member, Here, we present a case of aortic graft infection status-post aortic aneurysm repair secondary to We highlight the essential role multi-modal radiographic imaging played in establishing this diagnosis.

Emerging research has highlighted the significant role of the gut microbiota in atherosclerosis (AS), with microbiota-targeted interventions offering promising therapeutic potential. A central component of this process is gut-derived metabolites, which play a crucial role in mediating the distal functioning of the microbiota. In this study, a comprehensive microbiome-metabolite analysis using fecal and serum samples from patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and volunteers with risk factors for coronary heart disease and culture histology is performed, and identified the core strain Bacteroides ovatus (B.

We present a case of an 80-year-old female who presented with chest pain, vomiting and night sweats a few weeks post thoracic endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (TEVAR). A computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a type 1B endoleak for which she underwent a repeat TEVAR. Postoperatively, she developed fever, dysphagia, haematemesis and melaena.

Background: Over the last decade, the number of simultaneous heart-kidney transplants (SHKTs) has increased dramatically. There are few reports of renal allograft outcomes in these high acuity patients. The goal of the present study was to identify variables that were related to early adverse outcomes (EAOs), including delayed graft function (DGF), primary non-function (PNF), and renal allograft futility (RAF) after SHKTs.

Background: In recent years, transcatheter implantation devices to restrict pulmonary arterial flow have emerged as a potential alternative to surgical pulmonary artery banding.

Case Presentation: A term male was diagnosed with critical aortic stenosis (AS) and severely reduced left ventricle (LV) systolic function. He underwent aortic balloon valvuloplasty on day 2 of life, resulting in some antegrade flow, but LV ejection fraction only improved to 15%.
