OBJECTIVE: Accurate preoperative assessment of aortic invasion by esophageal carcinoma is of great importance for planning surgery. We compared the accuracy of intraaortic endovascular sonography with that of CT in the diagnosis of aortic invasion by esophageal carcinoma. CONCLUSION: In this study, intraaortic endovascular sonography was sensitive in detecting aortic invasion; both sensitivity and specificity were 100%. Intraaortic endovascular sonography proved useful in detecting aortic invasion by esophageal carcinoma.
With the advent of antibiotics syphilis and its complications appear to have been declining as an important cause of cardiovascular disease. We describe a patient with an unusual aorto-pulmonary communication secondary to syphilitic aortitis. The case illustrates the difficulty in defining the anatomy of this rare association preoperatively. The reason for the rarity of this manifestation is discussed and finally doubt is cast upon the assumption that cardiovascular syphilis is of only historical interest.
