Ascending aorta-supraceliac abdominal aorta bypass: successful removal of an infected graft in the descending thoracic aorta.

An infected graft and a mycotic pseudoaneurysm were successfully resected by employing an ascending aortasupraceliac abdominal aorta bypass graft in a 19-year-old man. He had formerly undergone graft replacement surgery for traumatic aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta, with the aid of a temporary external bypass graft. After this first operation, the patient had suffered from septicemia due to Psudomonas aeruginosa, which resulted in formation of mycotic pseudoaneurysms at the distal anastomotic site of the prosthetic graft and at both stumps of the formerly employed external bypass graft.

Comparative clinical study of cefcapene pivoxil and cefteram pivoxil in chronic respiratory tract infections by a double-blind method.

In a double-blind study, the efficacy and safety of the novel cephem antibiotic cefcapene pivoxil (CFPN-PI; 450 mg/day) was compared with cefteram pivoxil (CFTM-PI; 600 mg/day) in 171 patients with chronic respiratory tract infections. There was no significant difference between the clinical efficacy of the two drugs (80.2% for CFPN-PI versus 78.9% for CFTM-PI). There was no significant difference in the rate of elimination of the causative bacteria (60.5% for CFPN-PI versus 65.9% for CFTM-PI). Side-effects were observed in 6.0% of patients treated with CFPN-PI compared with 6.4% of patients treated with CFTM-PI. There were no significant differences in incidence of abnormal laboratory findings following treatment with the two drugs (13.9% for each), and none of the side-effects was severe. We conclude that CFPN-PI (450 mg/day) was as effective and as well tolerated as CFTM-PI (600 mg/day) in the treatment of chronic respiratory tract infections.
