Intrapericardial Aneurysmal Dilatation
A case of intrapericardial aneurysmal dilatation of the left atrial appendage occurring in a young woman is described. The patient presented with recurrent arrhythmia, which on one occasion was documented to be a supraventricular tachyeardia. Routine chest x-ray revealed an abnormal configuration of the left heart border. A precordial scan with 1311-labeled albumin provided evidence that the ma...
متن کاملFusiform aneurysmal dilatation of the portal vein.
A variety of pathologic changes may be associated with Banti's syndrome. These may include cirrhosis of the liver, splenic vein thrombosis, cavernomatous transformation of the portal vein and aneurysm of the splenic artery. However, a protracted search of the literature revealed no case of fusiform aneurysm of the portal vein as a result of an enlarged, congested spleen and liver cirrhosis. As ...
متن کاملAneurysmal Dilatation of Dialysis Arteriovenous Access
Arteriovenous fistula is considered the “ideal vascular access” in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD); however, its creation is not without complications. Aneurysmal dilatation is a poorly defined complication which, can potentially lead to access loss and life threatening hemorrhage. Increased venous pressure due to proximal venous stenosis along with repeated cannulations at the sam...
متن کاملMCP-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are present in early aneurysmal dilatation in experimental rats.
Recent studies have suggested that inflammation actively participates in ascending aortic aneurysm formation. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the expression changes of adhesion molecules and MMPs in an experimental model of ascending aortic aneurysm induced by ascending aorta banding in Wistar rats. Twelve rats developed aortic dilation after ascending aorta banding treatment, whil...
متن کاملAneurysmal dilatation of the pulmonary trunk with mild pulmonic stenosis.
We present the unusual case of a 72-year-old woman whose chest X-ray showed an abnormal left hilar shadow. A pulmonary angiogram revealed an aneurysm in the pulmonary artery with a diameter of 55 mm that extended from the main pulmonary trunk to its bifurcation. Mild pulmonic stenosis with a systolic pressure gradient of 18 mmHg across the pulmonic valve was recognized. Mild dilatation of the a...
