Successful Endoluminal Repair of an Infected Thoracic Pseudoaneurysm Caused by Methicillin-Resistant <i>Staphylococcus Aureus</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: To report the successful endoluminal repair of an infected thoracic aneurysm secondary to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). CASE REPORT: A 76-year-old man presented with an infected thoracic pseudoaneurysm 9 weeks after an elective infrarenal aneurysm repair. Blood cultures were positive for MRSA. Computed tomography (CT) showed an 11.5-cm false aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta just proximal to the celiac axis. An Excluder stent-graft was used to successfully repair the lesion. Recovery was uneventful, and the patient was treated with linezolid for 6 weeks. Follow-up CT scans at 3 and 12 months confirmed exclusion of the aneurysm and progressive shrinkage of the aneurysm sac with no evidence of graft infection. CONCLUSIONS: Endoluminal repair is an alternative to open surgery for the treatment of infected aneurysms of the thoracic aorta.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
