A case report of leaking left ventricular false aneurysm causing pericardial tamponade treated by surgical resection of the false aneurysm and coronary bypass surgery is presented including a description of the intraoperative technique for demonstration of the false aneurysm and the communicating channel to the left ventricular chamber.

Infected aneurysms involve the aorta, visceral and peripheral arteries and are associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Prompt confirmation of the suspicion of infection, resection of all infected tissue, and prolonged antibiotic therapy based on appropriate sensitivity studies are crucial to successful management. Patients whose aortic aneurysms grew Gram negative organisms were more likely to suffer early rupture of an aortic aneurysm, and had a higher mortality. Superior mesenteric aneurysms are preferably treated by resection. Upper extremity aneurysms can often be excised without distal ischemia. Lower extremity aneurysms were more likely to require reconstruction which can be accomplished through non-infected tissue planes, preferably with autogenous tissue.
A simple method was used to modify the tip of a porous surfaced finned pacemaker lead. Comparison between the modified and the unmodified pacemaker electrodes was carried out in experimental animals and in humans. The incidence of early lead dislodgement, acute trapping and pacing thresholds was recorded. The study revealed improved overall performance with the modified pacemaker lead.
