Abstract

Conventional surgery (CS) for treatment of mycotic aortic aneurysm has rather high surgical morbidity and mortality rates. The use of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) might simplify the procedure and provide a good alternative for this critical condition, but this remains to be proved. We analyzed all mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) cases treated by CS or EVAR in our institute and the reported cases treated by EVAR from the literature to determine the risk factors for aneurysm-related mortality and morbidity and to clarify the efficacy of the EVAR technique. All relevant literature reports of EVAR management of mycotic AAA and all cases treated in our institute, 41 cases, were included and analyzed. Of the 20 cases treated by EVAR, one had early mortality (1/20, 5%); of the remaining 21 cases that received CS, the early mortality rate was 4.8% (1/21). Patients in the CS group had a higher late mortality rate than those in the EVAR group (45% vs. 10.5%, p<0.05). However, the 24-month actual survival rate and actuarial aneurysm-related event-free rate were 83.9+/-8.6% and 78.3+/-9.7%, respectively, for the EVAR group and did not significantly differ from the CS group (70.4+/-10.2% and 80.1+/-8.9%). The significant predic...Continue Reading

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
