Abstract 076: 2023 Fusarium Meningitis Outbreak: Neuroendovascular Outcomes and Observations of the Angioinvasive Disease from South Texas

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

After several patients in this series developed subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured mycotic aneurysm, we proceeded to institute weekly cerebral angiography protocol. This detected moderate to severe vasospasm in 75%, and aneurysms in 58%, with the most common site being the basilar artery.

Persistent ST elevation 3 days after a nearly transmural MI portends possible LV aneurysm. It is very unlikely to be LV aneurysm morphology when the ST elevation is so high and the T-Wave inversion is so deep. Circulation 1999;99(15):1972-7. Circulation 2000;101(2):125-30.
