Predictors of Visceral Infectious Aneurysms in Patients with Infective Endocarditis and Systemic Embolization
This study shows a different profile of VIA-LSIE patients compared to LSIE-patients without. <i>Streptococcus</i> species were the most frequent causal agents. Our study indicates that the presence of VEEs in LSIE-patients could suggest an increased risk of VIA. This study also shows the need for further abdominal-CTA in all cases of left sided IE to detect asymptomatic visceral aneurysms.
