Isolated gonococcal ascending aorta aneurysm

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...

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 ...

The surgical treatment of concomitant disease of the aortic valve, aortic root and ascending aorta started in 1968 with Bentall and De Bono (Bentall & De Bono, 1968), who a...

A Case of Aneurysm of Ascending Aorta

Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta in a patient with ascending aorta aneurysm and our surgical procedure

Methods We presented the case of 58-year-old man. He admitted to our hospital with for chest pain. Chest computed tomography showed that the ascending aorta was 55 mm and a pseudoaneurysm was observed about 2 cm of noncoronary cusp. Arterial access to establish cardiopulmonary bypass performed via the right common femoral artery. Venous cannulation was performed with right atrial double-stage c...
