Inflammation of the wall of the AORTA.
Cardiovascular manifestations of SYPHILIS, an infection of TREPONEMA PALLIDUM. In the late stage of syphilis, sometimes 20-30 years after the initial infection, damages are often seen in the blood vessels including the AORTA and the AORTIC VALVE. Clinical signs include syphilitic aortitis, aortic insufficiency, or aortic ANEURYSM.
A chronic inflammatory process that affects the AORTA and its primary branches, such as the brachiocephalic artery (BRACHIOCEPHALIC TRUNK) and CAROTID ARTERIES. It results in progressive arterial stenosis, occlusion, and aneurysm formation. The pulse in the arm is hard to detect. Patients with aortitis syndrome often exhibit retinopathy.
A species of gram-positive bacteria in the family Clostridiaceae. Infections have a strong association with malignancies and also with GAS GANGRENE.
Conditions resulting from abnormalities in the arteries branching from the ASCENDING AORTA, the curved portion of the aorta. These syndromes are results of occlusion or abnormal blood flow to the head-neck or arm region leading to neurological defects and weakness in an arm. These syndromes are associated with vascular malformations; ATHEROSCLEROSIS; TRAUMA; and blood clots.
Aneurysm due to growth of microorganisms in the arterial wall, or infection arising within preexisting arteriosclerotic aneurysms.
Pathological condition characterized by the backflow of blood from the ASCENDING AORTA back into the LEFT VENTRICLE, leading to regurgitation. It is caused by diseases of the AORTIC VALVE or its surrounding tissue (aortic root).
The occupational discipline of the traditional Chinese methods of ACUPUNCTURE THERAPY for treating disease by inserting needles along specific pathways or meridians.
Pathological conditions of the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM caused by infection of MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS. Tuberculosis involvement may include the HEART; the BLOOD VESSELS; or the PERICARDIUM.
Radiographic visualization of the aorta and its branches by injection of contrast media, using percutaneous puncture or catheterization procedures.

Cryptococcal aortitis presenting as a ruptured mycotic abdominal aortic aneurysm. (1/136)

Mycotic processes occasionally complicate atherosclerotic aortic disease and usually require aggressive surgical therapy to control sepsis and prevent arterial rupture. Rarely, fungal organisms are responsible for primary infection of the abdominal aorta. We report the first case of Cryptococcal aortitis presenting as a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The surgical, pathologic, and microbiologic aspects of fungal aortitis are discussed.  (+info)

Inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm: A postoperative course of retroperitoneal fibrosis. (2/136)

PURPOSE: The long-term outcome and the development of retroperitoneal fibrosis after surgery on an inflammatory aortic aneurysm was studied. METHODS: Between 1989 and 1997, 1035 patients underwent surgery for an abdominal aneurysm, 42 of whom (4.1%) had typical signs of inflammation. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) scans before operation, and 26 patients were followed up with a CT scan after a median of 36 months (range, 10 to 91 months). RESULTS: The inflammatory layer resolved completely in only 23% of the patients. One patient had marked progression, 35% of patients showed improvement, and the remaining patients had no change, compared with the preoperative findings. Although clinical symptoms subsided in 90% of patients, in five cases an involvement of the ureter or intestine that did not exist at the time of operation developed. Although ureteral involvement to the inflammation tends to subside after surgery, persisting fibrosis was associated with ureteral entrapment in 30% of these cases and resulted in renal compromise in 49%. Hydronephrosis that was not present at the time of operation was found in 19% of patients, despite improving or stable inflammatory lesions. CONCLUSION: This case-control study supports the findings that retroperitoneal fibrosis persists longer than previously thought, and progression might even occur. Formerly uninvolved organs might become included in the process despite regression of the layer, leading to considerable problems if the condition is not treated in institutions familiar with this complex disease. We advocate a moderated follow-up scheme, as in the case of ordinary abdominal aortic aneurysm, and the need for long-term surveillance of inflammatory aneurysms.  (+info)

Aortitis due to Salmonella: report of 10 cases and comprehensive review of the literature. (3/136)

We describe ten cases of aortitis due to Salmonella that were treated at the University of Toronto-affiliated Hospitals between 1978 and 1997. Predisposing conditions included hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and myelodysplastic syndrome. Main presenting symptoms were fever and abdominal and back pain. The most frequent site involved was the abdominal aorta, followed by the thoracic aorta. All but one patient were treated with intravenous bactericidal antibiotics; seven also underwent surgery, four with axillobifemoral grafts and three with in situ grafts. Four of seven patients died within 1 month of the surgical procedure (three patients with in situ grafts and one patient with axillobifemoral graft). We also reviewed the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory characteristics, and treatment of 140 cases of aortitis due to Salmonella reported in the literature since 1948. The use of bactericidal antibiotics, together with early surgical intervention and long-term suppressive antibiotic therapy, has led to improved survival.  (+info)

Aortic valve replacement for aortic regurgitation caused by aortitis. (4/136)

Between January 1984 and December 1998, 19 patients (16 with Takayasu's arteritis, 3 with non-Takayasu's aortitis) underwent surgical treatment for aortic regurgitation resulting from the aortitis. Of the 19 patients, 14 had aortic valve replacement (AVR) and 5 had aortic root replacement. One patient (5.3%) died of graft infection during the hospital stay. During the follow-up period, 1 (5.6%) of the 18 postoperative patients died of paravalvular leakage due to valve detachment, which also required redo-operations in 2 patients with non-Takayasu's aortitis. Both patients were operated on during the active phase of the inflammation without perioperative steroid therapy. Although transmural pledgeted sutures were used for replacement of the detached prosthetic valve in 1 of these 2 patients, disruption of the aortic wall resulted in recurrence of valve detachment. In the other patient, aortic root replacement was successfully performed with the Cabrol technique in the second operation. Perioperaitve steroid therapy plays an important role in preventing complications after AVR when the valve replacement is carried out during the active phase of the inflammation, and for patients with non-Takayasu's aortitis, aortic root replacement should be considered to reduce the tension on the suture line and the native aortic valve annulus.  (+info)

Unusual complications in an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm. (5/136)

An unusual case of an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) associated with coronary aneurysms and pathological fracture of the adjacent lumbar vertebrae. The associated coronary lesions in cases of IAAA are usually occlusions. In the present case, it was concluded that a possible cause of the coronary aneurysm was coronary arteritis and the etiology of the pathological fracture of the lumbar vertebrae was occlusion of the lumbar penetrating arteries due to vasculitis resulting in aseptic necrosis. Inflammatory AAA can be associated with aneurysms in addition to occlusive disease in systemic arteries. The preoperative evaluation of systemic arterial lesions and the function of systemic organs is essential.  (+info)

Fifteen-year experience of transperitoneal management of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms. (6/136)

OBJECTIVES: to assess the long-term outcome of patients with inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: over a fifteen-year period 598 cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm were treated and, of these, 32 cases (5.3%) were inflammatory in nature. The diagnosis was made on preoperative (CT) computed tomography in fifteen cases. Twenty-six patients were symptomatic on presentation and ten cases were repaired on an emergency basis. Only six were repaired electively. The transabdominal transaortic approach without dissection on the nearby adherent structures was used routinely. RESULTS: there was one postoperative death from a respiratory arrest leading to a thirty-day mortality of 3.1%. Early graft thrombosis occurred in three cases (9.3%) and all underwent successful thrombectomy. Colonic ischaemia was encountered in one patient who later developed an aortoenteric fistula. Two patients suffered a non-fatal myocardial infarction postoperatively leading to an overall morbidity of 18.7%. CONCLUSIONS: patients with inflammatory aortic aneurysms fare worse than patients with aortic aneurysms in general. Preoperative suspicion assists in planning surgery. We believe that the transperitoneal approach with an anterolateral aortotomy and minimal dissection of adherent structures offers excellent results in dealing with this difficult group of patients.  (+info)

A patient with fever and an abdominal aortic aneurysm. (7/136)

A 55-year-old man with an abdominal aortic aneurysm presented with fever and abdominal pain 3 weeks after an episode of Salmonella gastroenteritis. His symptoms persisted despite antimicrobial therapy. Two abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans showed no evidence of aortitis. His abdominal pain worsened and further investigation including a third CT scan demonstrated a leaking aortic aneurysm. The wall of the aorta was shown to contain Gram-negative bacilli. This case illustrates the difficulty in diagnosing bacterial aortitis.  (+info)

Papulonecrotic tuberculide and stenosis of the abdominal aorta. (8/136)

Papulonecrotic tuberculide (PNT) is a rare form of skin tuberculosis affecting predominantly young adults, with a history of immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. We report a case of a young Caucasian female with PNT who was also documented to have a stenotic segment in the abdominal aorta. The difficulty in clarifying and treating the primary disease and the association between a tuberculous infection and Takayasu's arteritis are discussed.  (+info)

Aortitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the aorta, which is the largest artery in the body that carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The inflammation can cause damage to the aortic wall, leading to weakening, bulging (aneurysm), or tearing (dissection) of the aorta. Aortitis can be caused by various conditions, including infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications. It is essential to diagnose and treat aortitis promptly to prevent serious complications.

Cardiovascular syphilis is a tertiary stage of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. In this stage, the infection can affect the heart and blood vessels, leading to various complications. Medical definitions describe cardiovascular syphilis as follows:

1. According to the Merck Manual, cardiovascular syphilis is characterized by the development of vasculitic lesions in the aorta and its major branches, causing damage to the heart valves and blood vessels. Common manifestations include aortic regurgitation (backflow of blood), aneurysms (bulging or ballooning of the aorta), and aortic dissection (tearing of the inner layer of the aorta).
2. The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) defines cardiovascular syphilis as a late complication of syphilis, which can involve inflammation of the aorta and its branches, leading to aneurysms or aortic insufficiency. This stage usually develops 10-30 years after the initial infection.
3. The World Health Organization (WHO) explains that tertiary syphilis can affect the cardiovascular system, causing inflammation of the aorta and its branches. This may result in aortic aneurysms or aortic insufficiency, which can lead to heart failure if left untreated.

In summary, cardiovascular syphilis is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of tertiary syphilis, involving inflammation and damage to the heart and blood vessels. Early detection and treatment of syphilis are crucial to prevent these late manifestations.

Takayasu arteritis is a rare inflammatory disease that affects the large blood vessels in the body, most commonly the aorta and its main branches. It's also known as pulseless disease or aortic arch syndrome. The condition primarily affects young to middle-aged women, although it can occur in anyone at any age.

The inflammation caused by Takayasu arteritis can lead to narrowing, thickening, and weakening of the affected blood vessels' walls, which can result in reduced blood flow to various organs and tissues. This can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the severity and location of the vessel involvement.

Common symptoms include:

* Weak or absent pulses in the arms and/or legs
* High blood pressure (hypertension)
* Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting spells due to reduced blood flow to the brain
* Headaches
* Visual disturbances
* Fatigue
* Weight loss
* Night sweats
* Fever

Diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and imaging studies. Treatment usually includes corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications to control inflammation and maintain remission. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor disease activity and adjust treatment as necessary.

'Clostridium septicum' is a gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in soil and the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans. It is an obligate anaerobe, meaning it grows best in environments with little or no oxygen.

The bacterium can cause a serious infection known as clostridial myonecrosis or gas gangrene, which is characterized by rapidly spreading tissue death and gas formation in muscles. This condition is often associated with traumatic injuries, surgical wounds, or underlying conditions that compromise the immune system, such as cancer or diabetes.

'Clostridium septicum' infection can also lead to sepsis, a life-threatening condition characterized by overwhelming inflammation throughout the body. Symptoms of 'Clostridium septicum' infection may include fever, severe pain, swelling, and discoloration at the site of infection, as well as systemic symptoms such as low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and confusion.

Treatment typically involves surgical debridement of infected tissue, along with antibiotic therapy targeting 'Clostridium septicum' and other anaerobic bacteria. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent the spread of infection and reduce the risk of serious complications or death.

Aortic arch syndromes are a group of conditions that affect the aortic arch, which is the curved portion of the aorta that arises from the left ventricle of the heart and gives rise to the major branches of the arterial system. These syndromes are typically caused by congenital abnormalities or degenerative changes in the aorta and can result in various complications, such as obstruction of blood flow, aneurysm formation, and dissection.

There are several types of aortic arch syndromes, including:

1. Coarctation of the Aorta: This is a narrowing of the aorta at the point where it leaves the heart, just distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. It can cause hypertension in the upper extremities and reduced blood flow to the lower extremities.
2. Aortic Arch Aneurysm: This is a localized dilation or bulging of the aorta in the region of the aortic arch. It can lead to dissection, rupture, or embolism.
3. Aortic Arch Dissection: This is a separation of the layers of the aortic wall, which can result from hypertension, trauma, or genetic disorders such as Marfan syndrome. It can cause severe chest pain, shortness of breath, and shock.
4. Kommerell's Diverticulum: This is an outpouching or bulge in the aorta at the origin of the ligamentum arteriosum, which is a remnant of the ductus arteriosus. It can cause compression of the airways or esophagus and increase the risk of dissection or rupture.
5. Abernethy Malformation: This is a rare congenital anomaly in which there is an abnormal connection between the portal vein and systemic venous circulation, leading to the bypass of the liver. It can cause various complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and liver tumors.

The diagnosis and management of aortic arch syndromes require a multidisciplinary approach involving cardiologists, radiologists, surgeons, and other specialists. Treatment options may include medications, endovascular procedures, or surgical interventions depending on the severity and location of the lesion.

An infected aneurysm, also known as a mycotic aneurysm, is a localized dilation or bulging of the wall of a blood vessel that has been invaded and damaged by infectious organisms. This type of aneurysm can occur in any blood vessel, but they are most commonly found in the aorta and cerebral arteries.

Infected aneurysms are usually caused by bacterial or fungal infections that spread through the bloodstream from another part of the body, such as endocarditis (infection of the heart valves), pneumonia, or skin infections. The infection weakens the vessel wall, causing it to bulge and potentially rupture, which can lead to serious complications such as hemorrhage, stroke, or even death.

Symptoms of infected aneurysm may include fever, chills, fatigue, weakness, weight loss, and localized pain or tenderness in the area of the aneurysm. Diagnosis is typically made through imaging tests such as CT angiography, MRI, or ultrasound, along with blood cultures to identify the causative organism. Treatment usually involves a combination of antibiotics to eliminate the infection and surgical intervention to repair or remove the aneurysm.

Aortic valve insufficiency, also known as aortic regurgitation or aortic incompetence, is a cardiac condition in which the aortic valve does not close properly during the contraction phase of the heart cycle. This allows blood to flow back into the left ventricle from the aorta, instead of being pumped out to the rest of the body. As a result, the left ventricle must work harder to maintain adequate cardiac output, which can lead to left ventricular enlargement and heart failure over time if left untreated.

The aortic valve is a trileaflet valve that lies between the left ventricle and the aorta. During systole (the contraction phase of the heart cycle), the aortic valve opens to allow blood to be pumped out of the left ventricle into the aorta and then distributed to the rest of the body. During diastole (the relaxation phase of the heart cycle), the aortic valve closes to prevent blood from flowing back into the left ventricle.

Aortic valve insufficiency can be caused by various conditions, including congenital heart defects, infective endocarditis, rheumatic heart disease, Marfan syndrome, and trauma. Symptoms of aortic valve insufficiency may include shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, palpitations, and edema (swelling). Diagnosis is typically made through physical examination, echocardiography, and other imaging studies. Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition and may include medication, surgery to repair or replace the aortic valve, or a combination of both.

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, energy (known as "qi" or "chi") flows through the body along pathways called meridians. Acupuncture is believed to help restore the flow of qi and improve the balance of the body's energy.

In modern medical practice, acupuncture is often used to treat pain, including chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and headaches. It is also sometimes used to treat conditions such as nausea and vomiting, insomnia, and addiction. The precise mechanism by which acupuncture works is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals called endorphins, as well as other physiological changes in the body. Acupuncture is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified practitioner, and side effects are typically mild and temporary.

"Cardiovascular Tuberculosis" refers to a form of tuberculosis (TB) where the bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) infects the heart or the blood vessels. This is a less common manifestation of TB, but it can have serious consequences if left untreated.

In cardiovascular TB, the bacteria can cause inflammation and damage to the heart muscle (myocarditis), the sac surrounding the heart (pericarditis), or the coronary arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. This can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, coughing, fatigue, and fever. In severe cases, it can cause heart failure or life-threatening arrhythmias.

Cardiovascular TB is usually treated with a combination of antibiotics that are effective against the TB bacteria. The treatment may last for several months to ensure that all the bacteria have been eliminated. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace damaged heart valves or vessels. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent serious complications and improve outcomes in patients with cardiovascular TB.

Aortography is a medical procedure that involves taking X-ray images of the aorta, which is the largest blood vessel in the body. The procedure is usually performed to diagnose or assess various conditions related to the aorta, such as aneurysms, dissections, or blockages.

To perform an aortography, a contrast dye is injected into the aorta through a catheter that is inserted into an artery, typically in the leg or arm. The contrast dye makes the aorta visible on X-ray images, allowing doctors to see its structure and any abnormalities that may be present.

The procedure is usually performed in a hospital or outpatient setting and may require sedation or anesthesia. While aortography can provide valuable diagnostic information, it also carries some risks, such as allergic reactions to the contrast dye, damage to blood vessels, or infection. Therefore, it is typically reserved for situations where other diagnostic tests have been inconclusive or where more invasive treatment may be required.
