This report presents a unique case of concurrent mycotic aneurysms in a 64-year-old male left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipient. Initially admitted with odontogenic maxillary fungal sinusitis and fungemia, he later presented to our clinic with significant weight loss, fatigue, and LVAD complications. Imaging revealed a large complex mid-superior mesenteric artery aneurysm with multiple associated jejunal branches and a ruptured splenic aneurysm. Although these aneurysms were successfully managed, it is important to note the challenges in postoperative care, including anticoagulation-related complications such as post-splenectomy hematoma and intracranial bleeding. This case highlights the delicate balance between therapeutic interventions and managing LVAD-related complexities.
本报告介绍了一名64岁男性左心室辅助装置(LVAD)接受者并发霉菌性动脉瘤的独特病例。该患者最初因牙源性上颌真菌性鼻窦炎和真菌血症入院,后来因体重显著减轻、疲劳和LVAD并发症前来我院就诊。影像学检查发现一个巨大的复杂性肠系膜上动脉中部动脉瘤,伴有多个相关的空肠分支以及一个破裂的脾动脉瘤。尽管这些动脉瘤得到了成功治疗,但需要注意术后护理中的挑战,包括抗凝相关并发症,如脾切除术后血肿和颅内出血。该病例凸显了治疗干预与处理LVAD相关复杂性之间的微妙平衡。
