    Primary mycotic aneurysms are rare infections of the artery wall. This study highlights two cases, emphasizing the need for prompt surgical intervention due to high rupture risk and mortality.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Mycotic aneurysms result from bacterial infection of the artery wall, often originating from endocarditis or localized infections.
    • They are classified as primary (unknown septic focus) or secondary (related to known infection).
    • Primary mycotic aneurysms are exceptionally rare, with thoracic aorta involvement being particularly infrequent.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report two rare cases of primary mycotic aneurysms treated at the National Institute of Cardiology of Mexico.
    • To underscore the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with primary mycotic aneurysms.
    • To emphasize the critical importance of early surgical management in preventing catastrophic rupture.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Case report presentation of two patients diagnosed with primary mycotic aneurysms.
  • Review of clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging, and treatment strategies.
  • Surgical intervention as the primary treatment modality.

    • Main Results:

    • Two cases of primary mycotic aneurysm were successfully managed.
    • One case involved bacterial endarteritis of the thoracic aorta, an extremely rare presentation.
    • Both patients received prompt surgical treatment, averting rupture.

    Conclusions:

    • Primary mycotic aneurysms, though rare, necessitate high clinical suspicion.
    • Early diagnosis and aggressive surgical intervention are crucial for improving outcomes and reducing mortality.
    • Prompt treatment is vital due to the high risk of aneurysm rupture.
