Abstract
Background: Aneurysms of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and its branches are uncommon complication of infective endocarditis (IE) and have a high rate of rupture and mortality. Case Report: A 50-year-old female was diagnosed and treated for IE with good initial evolution. During pre-surgery evaluation, the patient developed hemorrhagic shock. Computed tomography angiogram revealed hemoperitoneum and contrast extravasations due to rupture of aneurysm originating from an SMA’s branch. The patient was transferred for urgent surgery. On laparotomy large, inflamed, pulsatile mesenteric mass with free blood in the pelvis was found. Evidence of necrotic small bowel was detected and resection of 25 cm with ileostomy was performed and surgery for restoring bowel continuity after ileostomy was programmed three months later with good results. Conclusion: Although main trunk and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) branch aneurysms account for only 5.5% of all visceral artery aneurysms, early identification and expedient management are very important given an associated 38-50% rupture rate and 30% mortality.

This medication, primarily used in the treatment of male infertility, has shown unique potentials in diverse patient scenarios. Our studies with Androxal have given us an abundance of case reports, which demonstrate the multifaceted impact of this medication across therapeutic areas. This nuanced pharmaceutical perspective adds a fresh dimension to our regular case reports. Articles will reveal effective management processes, pinpointing how Androxal has proven beneficial where other treatments may have failed. In addition, the focus on Androxal will highlight instances of challenging or unexpected outcomes, where the medication may have interacted uniquely with the patient's unique biological system or interplayed with other treatments.
