Direct replacement of mycotic thoracoabdominal aneurysms

Mycotic thoracoabdominal aneurysms.

Management of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms

Conventional treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAAs) consists of graft replacement with reattachment of the main aortic branches. Over the past 20 years a multimodal approach has gradually evolved to reduce the trauma of surgery by maximizing organ protection, allowing experienced surgical Centers to have better outcomes than previously reported. However, mortality and morbidity ...

Endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms.

BACKGROUND Morbidity and mortality after conventional repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms remain high. Alternative techniques have been proposed and are the subject of this report. METHODS AND RESULTS Endovascular grafts that have a means of incorporating the visceral vessels into the aortic repair were divided into devices with fenestrations and those with formal branches. Hybrid procedures...

Mycotic aneurysms of coronary arteries.

Bacterial endocarditis may give rise to mycotic arterial aneurysms in any part of the body, but particularly in the thoracic aorta, intracranial vessels, superior mesenteric artery, and the large arteries to the extremities (Weintraub and Abrams, I968). Aneurysms occurring in the coronary arteries are commonly arteriosclerotic or congenital and are very rarely mycotic in origin (Daoud et al., I...

thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms

over the last 50 years, significant progress has been made in the surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (taaa).   improvements in perioperative care and surgical techniques have resulted in reductions in complication and mortality rates. adjunctive use of distal aortic perfusion and cerebrospinal fluid drainage has been especially helpful, reducing the incidence of neurological d...
