Endarteritis of the aortic arch in Turner's syndrome with cystic degeneration of the aorta.

We present a case of a 36-year-old 45 XO Turner syndrome with bicuspid aortic valve, dilatation of the ascending aorta and of the major branches of the aortic arch and multiple cysts of the aortic wall. This was complicated by endarteritis of the base of the aortic arch and production of an intraluminal structure (intra-aortic debris). She also presented reactive pleural effusion and involvement of the pulmonary artery which was complicated by pulmonary embolism. Possible aetiological mechanisms are discussed.

Endarteritis and false aneurysm complicating aortic coarctation.

We report a tricky case of endocarditis because of the localization, aortic coarctation, and the pathogenic bacteria Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Furthermore, we underline the leading role of transesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis of aortic endarteritis. First, aortitis was treated with antibiotics and, second, successfully operated on.

Misdiagnosed Salmonella septicemia and endarteritis due to a lactose-fermenting strain: bacteriologic and epidemiologic considerations.

In a case of septicemia and endarteritis the causative agent was initially misidentified. The Salmonella had atypical biochemical properties and was resistant to numerous antibiotics. Therapy with gentamicin and cephalothin failed to eliminate the organism. Identification of the organism as a lactose-fermenting Salmonella serotype typhimurium var. copenhagen was confirmed. The possible dissemination of the isolate from Brazil was analyzed by serologic studies of family members and friends.

Focal endothelial cell degeneration and proliferative endarteritis in trauma-induced early lesions of necrobiosis lipoidica diabeticorum.

Microangiopathy is an essential component in diabetic vascular pathology. We report ultrastructural observations of ballooning degeneration involving isolated endothelial cells of cutaneous capillaries, while leaving adjacent endothelial cells relatively intact in six diabetic patients with early lesions of necrobiosis lipoidica induced by trauma. Focal proliferation of endothelial cells encroaching upon the vascular lumina (obliterative endarteritis) was also observed. Lectin studies on biopsy specimens of older lesions of necrobiosis lipoidica revealed paucity of dermal blood vessels. These observations enable us to gain further insight into the pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie diabetic microvascular disease.

Pulmonary endarteritis and subsequent embolization to the lung as a complication of a patent ductus arteriosus--a case report.

The authors describe a case of pulmonary endarteritis and subsequent embolization to the lungs as a complication of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Although 2-dimensional echocardiography has been shown to be of great value in the diagnosis of patients with infective endocarditis, echocardiographic detection of vegetation within the pulmonary artery and subsequent embolization to the lung is extremely rare and, to our knowledge, has been previously reported only in a few cases. In brief, our case not only shows the importance of echocardiography in making this rare diagnosis but also emphasizes the role of echocardiography as an effective means of following up such a case.

Two-dimensional echocardiographic findings in postoperative aortic suture line endarteritis.

Infections occurring after aortic valve surgery, whether valvuloplasty or replacement, commonly affect the valve itself. However infection of the aortic suture line alone is extremely rare. Such cases with endarteritis can be diagnosed at autopsy or by angiocardiography. In this report a patient with a vegetation at the aortic suture line which was diagnosed by echocardiography is presented. By two-dimensional echocardiography, a very mobile and echo-dense mass protruding from the ascending aorta was observed on the recordings through the suprasternal notch. This diagnosis was surgically confirmed and the patient was treated.

[Patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary artery endarteritis].

We describe a seven year old girl with echocardiographic diagnosis of pulmonary artery endarteritis as a complication of a patent ductus arteriosus, confirmed at surgery. This case illustrates the necessity of complete surgical resection of the infectious source as a way to avoid other complications such as pulmonary embolism.

[An autopsy case of rheumatoid arthritis associated with proliferative endarteritis died of sudden severe melaena].

A 68-year-old male with a 2-year history of rheumatoid arthritis was hospitalized due to severe polyarthritis. Since level of rheumatoid factor was high, and subcutaneous nodules and cutaneous ulcers were present, the case was diagnosed as malignant rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid vasculitis). On 10th day after admission, severe dyspnea developed due to acute heart failure, followed by severe melaena. The patient did not respond to various treatments including steroid pulse therapy, and died 3 days later. Autopsy revealed widespread hemorrhagic infarction that was extended from the colon to the rectum. Proliferative endarteritis was recognized in mesenteric vessels, however neither necrosis nor inflammatory changes were observed. The melaena was caused by the interstinal infarction. The intestinal infarction was thought to be responsible for the circulatory disturbances due to heart failure in obstructive vessel lesion of mesenteric vessels.

Femoral endarteritis as a complication of percutaneous coronary intervention.

Infectious complications following percutaneous coronary interventions are extremely unusual, with a reported frequency of less than 1%. This report describes a patient who developed septic endarteritis as a complication of percutaneous coronary intervention and reviews the literature of this complication.

[Right renal arteriovenous fistula after nephrectomy with streptococcal endarteritis].

The authors add a new case, to the 41 already published, of arterio-venous fistula of the renal pedicle after nephrectomy, with the peculiarity of its presentation as a prolonged fever resulting from streptococcal bacterial endarteritis at the site of the fistula (3rd case in the literature). Surgical treatment in association with massive and prolonged antibiotic therapy resulted in recovery.

[Prognostic importance of lymphocytosis in obliterating endarteritis].

Based on observations of 317 patients with obliterating endarteritis, the most persistant effect following the complex therapy was noted in patients showing lymphocytosis after the treatment. The overwhelming majority of patients with unfavourable issues of the therapy showed lymphopenia. So, of 67 patients showing lymphocytosis after 2--3 courses of the therapy 48 patients proved to be practically recovered. But there was no recovery among 30 lymphopenic patients, and in 13 cases the extremity had to be amputated. Among 220 patients showing the normal amount of lymphocytes the repeat course of the therapy resulted in a complete recovery in 19, in 2 cases the extremity was amputated.

Acute myocardial infarction with diffuse endarteritis, contraction bands, and distal thrombosis of the coronary arteries in a heart transplant patient.

The case history of a heart transplant patient who died of an acute myocardial infarction 6 months after the procedure is described. The finding of contraction bands and thrombosis associated with endarteritis suggests that coronary vasospasm may have contributed to the acute myocardial infarction during an episode of vascular rejection.

[Spontaneous aneurysm of the patent ductus arteriosus with endarteritis. A case report].

The spontaneous aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus is an extremely rare disease. From a total of 24 adult cases reported in the literature up to 1987, only in one case the ductus was open and other, was recanalized after being closed. We described the second case in the literature in a patient with totally permeable ductus arteriosus who developed a spontaneous aneurysm and endarteritis, showing the great importance of the diagnostic procedures such as echocardiogram, tomography and angiogram, as well as the surgical treatment which was successful in our patient. The probable etiology of this disease is discussed.

Septic endarteritis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.

A case of septic endarteritis leading to septic arthritis and septic emboli occurred after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. To our knowledge, this is the first reported instance of arterial wall infection potentially caused by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Treatment consisted of long-term intravenous antibiotics and drainage of the septic joint.

Salmonella endarteritis, about two cases and their management.

Mycotic aneurysms due to Salmonella are a classical but uncommon complication of Salmonella infections. We report two cases of such aneurysms, the first one having developed two successive aneurysms of the iliac arteries due to Salmonella typhimurium. The literature on Salmonella endarteritis is briefly reviewed. The importance of an aggressive surgical approach of the mycotic aneurysm, with removal of all infected material and extra-anatomic bypass through contaminated tissue is emphasized. The role of antibiotic treatment is also discussed.

[Plasmosorption in the complex treatment of endarteritis obliterans].

Plasmosorption was included in the complex of measures in 20 patients with obliterating endarteritis with different degrees of ischemia of lower extremities. Plasmosorption has been found to improve hemodynamics and microcirculation of diseased extremities, and to facilitate the reestablishment of the immune status, hemostasis and protein metabolism.

[Ways of reducing the extent of amputation of the limbs in endarteritis obliterans].

As a result of the development of vascular surgery, the interest in so called "minor surgery" (exarticulation of the toes, transmetatarsal amputation of the foot) has been resuscitated of late years. A comparative analysis of various methods of the treatment of 145 patients with obliterating endarteritis of Stages IV and V is performed. An intense pre- and postoperative therapy, hyperoxybarotherapy included, was carried out. The patients were subjected to sympatectomy, intraarterial infusion and skin plasty.
