A new vascular ring connector in surgery for aortic dissection.
OBJECTIVE To improve the surgical results of aortic dissection, we used a novel vascular ring connector for anastomosis. METHODS The vascular ring connector is a titanic ring used as a stent in the vascular graft to achieve a quick, blood-sealed, and sutureless anastomosis. From November 2007 to December 2008, 19 consecutive patients (age range 36-77 years; 16 male and 3 female) with aortic d...
متن کاملIncidental single coronary artery in an octogenarian with acute type A aortic dissection.
Single coronary artery (SCA) in the absence of other major congenital cardiovascular anomalies is rare. We report an extremely rare case of acute aortic dissection in an octogenarian who had a single left coronary artery with the right coronary artery originating from the distal circumflex. A single ostium was incidentally detected by visual inspection during an operation. We diagnosed the anom...
متن کاملRepair of acute aortic dissection in an octogenarian with prior thoracoplasty.
Cardiovascular surgery is challenging in patients who have previously undergone thoracoplasty because of severe chest deformity and impaired pulmonary function. We report a case of an octogenarian with prior left thoracoplasty, who successfully underwent surgical repair of an acute aortic dissection through a standard median sternotomy. We suggest that prior thoracoplasty might not necessarily ...

elongation. The recycling of ITA grafts can be performed in only a selected redo CABG population, when the ITA is patent but stenotic in the perianastomotic area, when there is a stenosis in the coronary artery distal to the anastomosis, and when an interventional cardiologic approach is not feasible. Preoperative selective angiography of the used ITA is helpful to exclude proximal stenosis, to...
متن کاملComplete Vascular Ring Caused by Kommerell's Diverticulum and Right Aortic Arch with Mirror Image Branching
Vascular ring, caused by Kommerell's diverticulum and ligamentum arteriosum, in a patient with right aortic arch and mirror image branching is extremely rare. A 10-month-old boy with coughing and stridor was diagnosed as having tracheo-esophageal stenosis, which is caused by a vascular ring with Kommerell's diverticulum, ligamentum arteriosum, right aortic arch, and mirror image branching. Komm...
