Abstract

75-year old woman with persistent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia was found to have a descending thoracic mycotic aneurysm, initially identified on 2-deoxy-2-[F-18]fluoroglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) and further characterized on computed tomographic angiography (CTA). Infection was related to a combination of underlying atherosclerosis and an automatic-implantable cardiac defibrillator (AICD) that required explant due to MRSA infected leads.

MRSA真菌性动脉瘤与感染的起搏器导联有关

75岁女性，持续性耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）菌血症，发现胸部降支性动脉瘤，最初通过2-脱氧-2-[F-18]氟葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描（FDG-PET）发现，并进一步通过计算机断层血管造影（CTA）进行表征。感染与潜在动脉粥样硬化和由于MRSA感染导联需要移植的自动植入式心脏除颤器（AICD）相关。
