Background: Transcatheter valve-in-valve replacement (TMViVR) is an alternative option for patients with bioprosthetic valve failure (BVF) who are at high surgical risk. Although infective endocarditis (IE) after transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement is unusual, it is associated with significantly high mortality.
Case Presentation: An 81-year-old male patient was admitted with intermittent thoracic tightness, chest pain persisting for 3 years, and shortness of breath with nausea for 1 week.

Chromoanagenesis (CAG) encompasses a spectrum of catastrophic genomic events, including chromothripsis, chromoanasynthesis, and chromoplexy. We studied CAG in 410 patients with a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 292 newly diagnosed (ND), and 118 refractory/relapsed, using optical genome mapping. CAG was identified by the presence of clusters (with 10 or more breakpoints) of structural abnormalities and/or segmental copy number alterations within one or more chromosomal regions.

Thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysms are a rare but serious complication of infectious processes, often resulting from mycotic (infectious) aneurysms, occurring when the vessel wall is compromised by an infection, leading to the formation of a pseudoaneurysm [1]. Mycotic aneurysms typically result from bacteremia or fungemia, with common sources being infective endocarditis or other systemic infections. Tuberculosis, though a common infectious disease worldwide, is an unusual cause of aortic pseudoaneurysm formation.
