Extended Aortic Arch Replacement Through the L-Incision Approach
There are various methods for approaching the aortic arch, such as median sternotomy or lateral thoracotomy. However, accessing the site of distal anastomosis is problematic when the distal arch is extensively involved. We report a case of extended aortic arch replacement and coronary artery bypass through the L-incision approach.
متن کاملAortic arch enlargement and coarctation repair through a left thoracotomy: significance of ductal perfusion.
OBJECTIVE To analyse the technique of neonatal aortic arch enlargement without cardiopulmonary bypass through a left posterior thoracotomy, as an adjunct to extended resection for Coarctation and severe arch hypoplasia. METHODS Ten neonates with coarctation, severe arch hypoplasia and a persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) were subjected to arch repair through a left posterior thoracotomy. Nine...
متن کاملAortic replacement via median sternotomy with left anterolateral thoracotomy.
Prevention of cerebral injury is an important consideration during repair of aortic arch aneurysm, and the major goal of cerebral protection techniques. We describe our surgical strategy for treatment of extended thoracic aortic aneurysms. Between January 2001 and June 2008, 17 men and 6 women, with a mean age of 67.9 +/- 8.3 years, underwent total replacement of the arch and descending aorta. ...
متن کاملDebranching of the arch in aortic aneurysms.
We read with interest the surgical approach of Kondoh et al. [1] for the treatment of the distal arch aneurysm. They performed the elephant trunk procedure with undersized grafts instead of using the frozen elephant trunk technique with 10–20% oversized stent grafts. One month postoperative the residual ‘endoleak’ was 14% in Group 1, and 67% in Group 2. They performed an additional procedure in...
متن کاملDouble aortic arch with hypoplastic right aortic arch and type C atresia of left aortic arch.
We report the case of a 2-month-old baby with a double aortic arch, type C atresia of the left arch and severe hypoplasia of the right aortic arch between the right carotid and subclavian arteries, resulting in systemic obstruction, left ventricular dysfunction and congestive heart failure. Surgical augmentation of the right aortic arch ameliorated the obstruction with improvement in left ventr...
