Abstract

Introduction: Recent studies have demonstrated the growing interest in cardiovascular risk in Crohn's disease (CD), the aim of our work is to highlight the need for research into the frequency of arterial stiffness (AS) and its link with certain associated factors, particularly those related to inflammation., Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional observational study involving 118 patients with CD. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) measured by applanation tonometry was the criterion for calculating AS, the study also investigated the association of AS especially the indicators of inflammation, as well as the impact of anti-TNF alpha therapy on AS., Results: The prevalence of AS, after adjustment for age and blood pressure level reached more than a quarter of patients compared to the cardiovascular risk which was low. The factors that were strongly associated with AS were age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Two parameters related to inflammation emerged as having a highly significant link after multivariate analysis: recurrence in the last year and length of disease with a p=0.008, and an OR of 5 and 9 successively. Patients treated with anti-TNF alpha had a significant reduction in PWV., Conclusion: The prevalence of AS reached more than a quarter of patients with CD, the duration and recurrence rate of CD appear to be factors linked to inflammation. Treatment with anti-TNF alpha seems to slow down PWV in these patients., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier España, S.L.U. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

We are reporting a case revealed by an abdomino-thoracic painful syndrome associated with multi-organ failure. A 61-year-old hypertensive woman was hospitalized for the management of hypertensive emergency associating acute coronary syndrome and abdominal pain. A thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT-scan showed a right adrenal mass associated with hepatic vein thrombosis. After medical preparation, an adrenalectomy was performed by way of open surgery; the study of the surgical specimen found a pheochromocytoma score PASS 4. The follow-up was marked by the normalization of blood pressure and biological abnormalities., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

Ductus diverticulum is either a remnant of the ductus arteriosus or the right dorsal aortic root. The most common diagnosis is the differentiation of an aortic isthmus pseudoaneurysm from a type III ductal diverticulum. Both aortic entities occur at roughly the same anatomical location often leading to diagnostic confusion. Aortic dissection should be considered if it is Takayasu's disease. We are reporting the case of a 31-year-old woman with chest pain and muscle weakness, functional impotence of the left upper limb with intermittent palpitations. Thoraco-abdominal CT angiography was in favor of inflammatory arteritis of the thoraco-abdominal aorta, common carotids and the left subclavian artery. Sub-occlusive stenosis of the left axillary artery was noted, in favor of Takayasu disease. There was an aspect of aortic ductus diverticulum type III, 24mm from the emergence of the subclavian artery simulating aortic dissection or ulceration of the aortic isthmus. An electrocardiogram revealed Wolff Parkinson White syndrome with left lateral Kent. There was good clinical outcome after immunosuppressive drugs and antiarrhythmic therapy., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)
