Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

463
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...

Endocarditis I: Introduction01:25

Endocarditis I: Introduction

849
Introduction:Endocarditis is the infection of the endocardium, the inner lining of the heart and its valves. When the heart muscle is involved, the condition is termed myocarditis, while an infection of the outer lining is called pericarditis. Infective endocarditis (IE) primarily affects the endocardium, where pathogens adhere to the valves or lining, forming vegetation that can lead to severe complications. Infective endocarditis occurs when microorganisms, usually bacteria from other body...

Endocarditis III: Medical Management

348
Infective endocarditis management involves a multifaceted approach encompassing infection prevention, lifestyle modifications, pharmacological therapy, and surgical management.Infection Prevention:Hand Hygiene: Thorough handwashing is crucial to prevent the spread of infection. Hand hygiene should be performed regularly, especially before and after using the restroom.Oral Hygiene: Good oral hygiene is essential. It includes brushing teeth immediately after waking up and before bed, flossing...

Endocarditis IV: Nursing Management

607
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a chronic infection of the heart's endocardium, primarily affecting the heart valves. A detailed nursing assessment for a patient with IE involves collecting subjective and objective data to ensure an accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.Subjective DataThe nurse gathers information about the patient's symptoms and complaints during the subjective assessment. Patients with infective endocarditis often report non-specific symptoms that can mimic other...

Endocarditis II: Clinical Features of Infective Endocarditis

869
Endocarditis can present various clinical features depending on the causative organism and the patient's underlying health conditions. Initially, the clinical features of infective endocarditis develop gradually, presenting with nonspecific symptoms that can be easily mistaken for other illnesses.General SymptomsEarly symptoms of infective endocarditis are fever, chills, weakness, malaise, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms reflect the systemic nature of the infection and the body's...

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

604
Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Aortic endograft infection (AeGI) after complex endovascular aortic repair (cEVAR) is more common than previously thought, with primary infected aortic pathology and re-interventions increasing risk. Graft-preserving strategies show promise for remission in select patients.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Medical Device Complications

Background:

  • Aortic endograft infection (AeGI) is a rare but serious complication of complex endovascular aortic repair (cEVAR).
  • Existing data on AeGI incidence, risk factors, and outcomes are limited due to small case series.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence and risk factors for AeGI following cEVAR.
  • To describe treatment strategies and outcomes for AeGI in a high-volume aortic center.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing cEVAR with fenestrated or branched endografts (September 2010 - May 2024).
  • AeGI diagnosis based on Management of Aortic Graft Infection Collaboration (MAGIC) criteria.
  • Multivariable Cox regression used to identify risk factors; outcomes included incidence, microbiology, treatment, survival, and infection status.

Main Results:

  • 19 cases of AeGI occurred among 527 patients (542 cEVARs); 5-year incidence was 3.87%.
  • Independent risk factors for AeGI included primary infected aortic pathology (MAA) and late aortic re-interventions.
  • Secondary fistula formation (32% of cases) was associated with significantly poorer survival (4.0 vs. 41.5 months).

Conclusions:

  • AeGI after cEVAR is more frequent than previously reported.
  • MAA and late re-interventions are significant risk factors for AeGI.
  • Endograft-preserving strategies, including antimicrobial therapy and debridement, can achieve remission in selected patients without fistula, improving survival.
