Behcet's disease is a rare immune mediated systemic vasculitis which besides it's more frequent involvement of eyes and skin, sometimes present with aortic pseudo aneurysm and more rarely cardiac inflammatory masses.A 51-year-old patient with Behçet's Disease presented with two symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms concomitant with a right atrial mass. Computed tomography (CT) revealed one supra-celiac and another infrarenal aortic pseudoaneurysms. Echocardiography showed a large mobile mass in the right atrium. Both pseudoaneurysms were successfully excluded simultaneously via endovascular approach with Zenith stent-grafts, and the atrial mass was surgically removed 10 days later. Post-implant CT showed successful exclusion of both pseudo-aneurysms, patency of all relevant arteries, and patient is now asymptomatic and has returned to normal lifestyle. Multiple pseudoaneurysms concomitant with a right atrial mass can be an initial manifestation of Behçet's disease. Endovascular repair can be a good treatment option for the pseudoaneurysms.
白塞病是一种罕见的免疫介导的系统性血管炎,除了更常累及眼睛和皮肤外,有时还会出现主动脉假性动脉瘤,更罕见的是心脏炎性肿块。一名51岁的白塞病患者出现了两个有症状的主动脉假性动脉瘤,同时伴有右心房肿块。计算机断层扫描(CT)显示一个腹腔干上方和另一个肾下主动脉假性动脉瘤。超声心动图显示右心房有一个大的活动肿块。两个假性动脉瘤均通过使用Zenith覆膜支架经血管内途径成功同时排除,10天后手术切除心房肿块。植入后CT显示两个假性动脉瘤均成功排除,所有相关动脉通畅,患者目前无症状,已恢复正常生活方式。伴有右心房肿块的多个假性动脉瘤可能是白塞病的初始表现。血管内修复对于假性动脉瘤可能是一个很好的治疗选择。
