Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta after aortic valve replacement.
A 58-year-old man with fever and chest wall tenderness was seen 8 weeks after aortic valve replacement. His initial postoperative course had been complicated by mediastinitis, requiring antibiotics and surgical debridement. A transthoracic echocardiogram did not reveal the culprit lesion. Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta was suspected, based on computerized tomographic and magnetic resonan...
متن کاملAortic valve reconstruction associated to ascending aorta tubular graft replacement in aortic incompetence by annuloaortic ectasia.
OBJECTIVE Aortic valve incompetence associated with severe aortic ectasia is usually treated by aortic valve and ascending aorta replacement. In cases of isolated aortic ectasia or in Type A aortic dissection the valve is often normal and the incompetence is just due to annular dilatation. Such conditions lead to the application of various valve-sparing surgical techniques, as described by Senn...
متن کامل[Homograft replacement of aortic valve and ascending aorta].
From May 1990 through December 1994, integral valved aortic homografts were implanted for replacement of the aortic valve and of part or the whole of the ascending aorta in 24 patients with a mean age of 45.5 years (17-66 years). Ten patients (41.7%) had infective endocarditis of the aortic valve (4 of the native valve and 6 prosthetic). Seven of these had root abscesses (70%), one with a fistu...
متن کاملAortic Valve Stenosis and Atheromatous Ascending Aorta
A 78-year-old man with a history of hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes mellitus was referred to our hospital for the evaluation of a systolic murmur. Echocardiography showed severe aortic stenosis with a pressure gradient of 79.7 mmHg; aortic orifice size, 0.46 cm; and regurgitation, grade III (ejection fraction, 50.5%). Computed tomography revealed marked calcification adhering to the ao...
متن کاملSurgical Experience of Ascending Aorta and Aortic Valve Replacement in Patient with Calcified Aorta
BACKGROUND The conventional method of aortic cross-clamping is very difficult and increases the risk of cerebral infarct due to embolism of the calcified aorta in these patients. Accordingly, we analyzed our experience with 11 cases of ascending aorta and aortic valve replacement with hypothermic circulatory arrest. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2002 to December 2009, 11 patients had asc...
