Article Abstract
Infectious aneurysm of the thoracic or abdominal aorta is a rare clinical condition. We present the case of a 72-year-old female with an infectious thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm with a coeliacomesenteric trunk requiring open repair following endovascular therapy. Following removal of the endovascular graft, the thoracoabdominal aorta was repaired using cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermia. The common trunk of the superior mesenteric artery and the coeliac artery was then reconstructed, which included endarterectomy of the super mesenteric artery to create a cuff for an anastomosis. This case demonstrates the challenges associated with the endovascular repair of a condition with an infectious aetiology and highlights the necessity of open repair in complex cases with aberrant vascular anatomy.

Infective endocarditis is a severe infectious disease that, in addition to cardiac complications such as heart failure and arrhythmias caused by valve damage, may also lead to extracardiac complications such as septic embolization, metastatic abscesses, and mycotic aneurysms. Here, we report a rare case of splenic infarction resulting from infective endocarditis, subsequently leading to the development of a splenic artery aneurysm three weeks post-surgery confirmed both by CTA and DSA. Following arterial embolization of the aneurysm, the patient eventually recovered completely.

Mycotic pseudoaneurysms are rare infectious complications that may involve the aorta, peripheral arteries, cerebral arteries, or visceral arteries. We present a unique case of thoracoabdominal mycotic pseudoaneurysm secondary to hematogenous spread of from spinal osteomyelitis. The infections started with bacterial translocation to the calcified ostial plaque around the celiac origin, which then degenerated into a rapidly growing pseudoaneurysm.

Introduction: Although immune-related adverse events (irAEs) associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are widely recognized, ICI-related aortitis is very rare and challenging to diagnose.
Case Presentation: A 70-year-old man with esophageal squamous carcinoma recurring after esophagectomy received paclitaxel therapy after nivolumab therapy. Nivolumab therapy was administered for 26 months; however, no adverse events occurred during treatment.

Objective: Brucellosis-induced aortic aneurysm (BIA), as a rare yet highly life-threatening type of infectious aortic aneurysm, currently lacks standardized treatment protocols. The primary objective of this study is to thoroughly evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular therapy using a combination of covered stents and drug irrigation techniques for the treatment of BIA. This endeavor aims to provide a scientific basis for the clinical management of this disease.
