Stroke is a rare but possible complication after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. However, its etiopathogenesis is far from being completely characterized. Here we report a case of stroke, with recurrent peripheral embolism after AF ablation procedure. In our patient, an in situ femoral vein thrombosis and iatrogenic atrial septal defect were simultaneously detected. A comprehensive review of multiple pathophysiological mechanisms of stroke in this context is provided. The case underlines the importance of a global evaluation of patients undergoing AF ablation.

A 62-year-old man presented with fever, abdominal pain, and malaise 13 months after emergency endovascular aortic repair. Computed tomographic angiograms showed a periprosthetic fluid and gas collection, so infection was diagnosed. Open conversion was performed, involving endograft explantation and in situ aortic reconstruction. Cultures and the explanted prosthesis were positive for carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, resistant to colistin. Because of the sparse data on endograft infections caused by this pathogen, we placed the patient on an empiric double-carbapenem regimen for 4 weeks. Symptomatic recovery occurred after 21 days. On the 30th day, we deployed a stent to treat a new pseudoaneurysm. Three years later, the patient had no signs of persistent or recurrent infection. We think that this is the first report of aortic endograft infection caused by colistin-resistant, carbapenemase-producing K. pneumoniae.

Current anatomical theory does not recognize the existence of an extended floating threadlike structure inside the blood vessels. Nonetheless, this study developed a new method for observing such an intravascular threadlike structure. The key technique involves injecting acridineorange into the femoral vein to circulate along the blood vessels and stain the nuclei of the intravascular threads inside the blood vessels. In-situ observations were then made under a fluorescence stereomicroscope after saline-perfusion. Confocal microscope images revealed a distinctive characteristic pattern of nucleus distribution that was clearly distinguishable from fibrin, capillaries, small venules, arterioles, or lymph vessels. Accordingly, it is suggested that the identified intravascular threads are part of the Bonghan's circulatory network that is distributed throughout the body, including inside the blood vessels.
