Twenty-seven patients underwent surgical repair for nonpenetrating injuries of the thoracic aorta. Emergency operation was performed in 19 patients with acute aortic injury and there were 12 survivors. Left heart bypass (LHB), external shunts, and simple aortic cross-clamping were methods employed during repair. All operative deaths occurred in the left heart bypass group. Morbidity, hospital stay, operative time, and blood loss all were markedly less in patients repaired with an external shunt or simple cross-clamping. Systemic heparinization related adversely to mortality and morbidity. Eight patients had repair of chronic post-traumatic descending aortic aneurysms. One of these had previous repair elsewhere with paraplegia and subsequent mycotic aneurysm at the graft repair site. He presented to us with massive hemoptysis. Surgical correction in the chronic group was performed using either left heart bypass, external shunt, or simple aortic cross-clamp with graft interposition. The only death occurred in a patient repaired on left heart bypass.

A case is presented which demonstrates the value of bronchial arteriographic studies in localizing and treating hemoptysis. The patient was bleeding from an old post-tuberculous bulla and for several reasons was not a candidate for surgery. Bronchial arteriographic studies demonstrated both hypervascularity in the region of the cavity and also a mycotic aneurysm of a bronchial artery. After therapeutic embolization with gelatin (Gelfoam), the hypervascularity and aneurysm were no longer opacified. Active bleeding abruptly ceased and, except for a single mild recurrence, has not recurred during the three months since therapeutic embolization. The major theoretic risk of bronchial arteriographic study and therapeutic embolization is spinal injury. It is believed that permanent injury can almost be avoided, providing proper technique is used.

We present two cases of ruptured mycotic aneurysms infected with Staphylococcus aureus. Each patient had hemoptysis and in each case there was hemothorax caused by a ruptured mycotic aneurysm of the celiac artery. In case 1, the pathogenesis was transient Staphylococcus aureus septicemia infecting an atherosclerotic plaque with subsequent aneurysm formation and rupture. In case 2, the septicemia arose from an infected knee. The presentation of a celiac artery aneurysm as hemoptysis and as the cause of hemothorax is rare.

Postoperative mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta at the site of subclavian flap angioplasty (SFA) is very rare. A 6-year-old boy was admitted with a history of high fever for 10 days. He had undergone SFA at the age of 14 days and patch closure of VSD at 10 months. The chest X-ray film on admission revealed no abnormality. But, 7 days later, he suffered from frequent hemoptysis and chest X-ray film showed an abnormal mass shadow at the left upper lung field. Contrast enhanced CT scan and IV-DSA revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch which had ruptured into the left upper lung. An extra-anatomical bypass was urgently made from the ascending aorta to abdominal aorta and the aneurysm was isolated by ligations of the aorta proximal and distal to the aneurysm. Aneurysmectomy combined with left upper lobectomy was carried out next day. Septic signs and hemoptysis dramatically improved after operation. Extra-anatomical bypass as a means of choice for the surgical treatment of the mycotic aneurysm greatly contributed to cure the severe ill patient. But a close follow up observation for the function of the graft is necessary.

Twenty-one embolizations were performed in 19 children and adolescents. Ten patients underwent emergency embolotherapy to control bleeding from trauma (5), neoplastic disease (2), mycotic aneurysm (1), post-operative bleeding (1), and hemoptysis (1). Nine patients underwent elective embolotherapy. In 5 patients with hypervascular tumors, it was performed as an adjunct to surgery or chemotherapy. In 3 patients, embolotherapy was the primary mode of treatment for vascular malformations in the lung, pelvis, and kidney. One patient with systemic-pulmonary arterial collaterals was treated for high-output congestive heart failure. Embolotherapy was successful in controlling bleeding in all cases. There were no major complications or procedure-related mortalities. Minor complications occurred in 2 patients. Our results indicate that percutaneous transcatheter embolotherapy in children and adolescents is safe and effective and has wide application in both elective and emergency management of vascular lesions in this age group.

Massive hemoptysis is a rare complication of bacterial endocarditis. When seen, it is most often due to septic pulmonary emboli with infarction or rupture of a mycotic aneurysm of the pulmonary artery; these conditions are usually associated with endocarditis of the tricuspid valve. We report a case of fatal hemorrhage into the lung from a mycotic aneurysm of the subclavian artery, which eroded into the left upper lobe; this condition arose as a sequela of staphylococcal endocarditis involving the mitral valve.

A patient presented to the hospital with mild hemoptysis of 1 day's duration and an infiltrate on chest roentgenogram. Shortly after admission, she developed shock, massive hemoptysis, and a bloody pleural effusion that yielded Streptococcus viridans. Pulmonary arteriography revealed a peripheral pulmonary artery aneurysm, which was embolized with a detachable silicone balloon, resulting in immediate cessation of hemoptysis. An acute pneumonia associated with moderate to massive hemoptysis raises the possibility of mycotic aneurysm; pulmonary arteriography is indicated, which allows for diagnosis and treatment during the same study. Successful embolization may obviate the need for surgery or convert an emergency thoracotomy to an elective procedure.

Septicaemia and mycotic aneurysm may occur in a patient who is an enteric-carrier of Salmonella typhimurium. We report such a case of an elderly man who presented with chest pain and fatal massive haemoptysis from a likely mycotic thoracic aneurysm. This report underscores the importance of increased awareness of the disease which may allow more frequent and earlier diagnosis.

We report the case of a 32-year-old man with a mycotic aneurysm of the left subclavian artery. This patient had immunosuppression caused by chemotherapy administered for treatment of leukemia. This aneurysm was revealed by two episodes of hemoptysis caused by a lung parenchyma fistulization. The patient was treated successfully by simple ligation and exclusion via a thoracotomy with partial lung resection. Histologic examination confirmed the presence of aspergilloma filaments in the false aneurysm. We suspect that aspergilloma could have been the cause of the mycotic aneurysm in this particular case. The literature on subclavian artery mycotic aneurysms is reviewed.

Mycotic aneurysms of the subclavian artery are rare. This report describes an experience of 2 rare cases in which transcatheter embolization with metallic coils was performed for the management of these lesions alternative to surgery. Two patients who had been treated with chemotherapy for malignant neoplasms were diagnosed as having mycotic aneurysms of the left subclavian artery. The causes of these lesions were presumed to be the invasion of the arterial wall by the pulmonary abscess in case 1, and wound infection after placement of the reservoir for intraarterial chemotherapy in case 2. In both cases, proximal and distal sites of the aneurysm were embolized with metallic coils. In case 1, the vertebral artery was also embolized with Guglielmi detachable coils to avoid retrograde blood flow. Both aneurysms were completely occluded by a single embolization. In case 1, although weakness and paresthesia of the left hand remained, lethal hemoptysis due to aneurysmal fistulization to the lung parenchyma ceased. In case 2, no neurological deficit except for mild paresthesia in the left thumb had been observed. Both patients died of primary disease 10 and 5 months after the procedure. Transcatheter embolization is technically feasible and effective enough to treat the mycotic aneurysm of the subclavian artery even in the situation in which the surgical option seems to be difficult or risky.
