DOES AORTIC ROOT DIAMETER PREDICT ANEURYSM OF THE ASCENDING AORTA?

Aortic Pseudo aneurysm 3 Years after Interposition Tube Graft for Acute Dissection of Ascending Aorta

Introduction: Patients with primary acute aortic dissection are at higher risk of complications, including increasing aortic aneurysm diameter, aortic rupture, aortic pseudo aneurysm, and recurrent aortic dissection. Case presentation We presented the case of a recurrent pseudo aneurysm and rupture of the aorta in the distal a...

Aneurysm of the Ascending Aorta

Between January 1983 and March 1988 25 patients with aneurysms of the ascending aorta were operated, out of these only 15 (56%) electively. Acute incompetence (10) were the main indications for operation. Poststenotic aneurysms (2), mycotic (2) and saccular sclerotic (1) aneurysms have also been observed. A rare case of a ruptured ascending aorta due to histologically and serologically proven B...

Rupture of aortic value secondary to aneurysm of ascending aorta.

[Aortic root homograft in the surgical treatment of aortic valve disease with dilated ascending aorta].

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Patients with aortic valve disease and a dilated ascending aorta are usually treated with a composite graft comprising a valve and conduit. We review here the results of treatment with an aortic root homograft as a valid alternative. PATIENTS AND METHOD Twenty-two consecutive patients with a mean age of 64.8 (8.8) years were studied. Mean ascending aorta dilation w...

Prenatal diagnosis of ascending aorta aneurysm.

At the age of 3 months, the patient is asymptomatic and the size of the aneurysm has not changed. The majority of ascending aorta aneurysms reported in the literature to date are diagnosed during childhood or adolescence and are associated with connective tissue diseases such as Marfan syndrome or EhlersDanlos syndrome, or with cardiac or extracardiac malformations. Very few aneurysms that are ...
