RESUMO

Mycotic aneurysms of the aorta are prone to rupture. Thus rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential so that surgical repair can be undertaken. We report a case of mycotic aortic aneurysm caused by mitral valve endocarditis. The aneurysm situated at the junction of the thoracoabdominal aorta was readily detected by transesophageal echocardiography. Computed tomography and aortography were complementary to transesophageal echocardiography in establishing the diagnosis. The patient underwent successful repair and acute inflammation of the aneurysm was present at histologic examination.

RESUMO

The influence of gender on the procedural outcome of directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) is controversial. This study of 373 consecutive patients (418 lesions) undergoing DCA demonstrates that the procedural success rate of DCA is significantly lower in women compared with men (72.7 vs. 82.9%, p = 0.011). Women have significantly smaller coronary arteries than men (2.5 mm vs. 2.7 mm, p = 0.028) and were older than men (66 vs. 61 years, p = 0.0001). Multivariate analysis identifies small coronary vessel size rather than female gender per se as an independent predictor of poor procedural outcome. Procedural success rates in women with coronary vessel size > or = 2.5 mm is significantly higher (92.2%) than in women with coronary vessel size < 2.5 mm (73.1%), and parallels that in men with vessel size > or = 2.5 mm (89.3%). Inability to engage the ostium of the coronary artery adequately with the guiding catheter and to cross the lesion with the atherectomy device is significantly more common in women compared with men. Major ischemic complication rates are similar in women and men (8.5 vs. 8.7%). Groin complications are significantly more common in women compared with men (13.5 vs. 2.9%). We conclude that procedural success rates in women may be improved by careful patient selection, with particular attention to small vessel size. DCA is best performed in vessels > 2.5 mm in diameter.

RESUMO

The influence of age on the clinical and angiographic outcome of directional coronary atherectomy is evaluated. Results demonstrate that DCA can be performed successfully in the vast majority (78.7-90%) of patients in all age groups. However, there is a non-statistical trend toward decreased success rates in the elderly (P > .05). Major ischemic complications and groin complications tend to be more common in the elderly (P > .05). Blood transfusions are required significantly more often in the elderly (P < .05). Directional coronary atherectomy is a useful method of coronary artery revascularization in all age groups, including the elderly.
