  • Title: [Mycotic aneurysm of the pulmonary artery complicating infectious endocarditis].
    Author: Tounian P, Girardet JP, Bennaceur B, Lecompte Y, Fontaine JL.
    Journal: Arch Fr Pediatr; 1988 Mar; 45(3):189-92. PubMed ID: 3395194.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a 7 year-old boy, in whom a mycotic aneurysm of the lobar inferior left pulmonary artery had been found in the course of a staphylococcal endocarditis of the tricuspid valve. Surgical removal of the aneurysm was followed by a thrombosis of this artery. This is a rare complication after infective endocarditis. Analysis of literature data shows that the rupture of these aneurysms frequently occurs; therefore, systematic surgical treatment is recommended whenever the anatomic conditions make it possible.
