[Endovascular treatment of descending thoracic aorta aneurysm].
BACKGROUND The natural history of aneurysms ends in rupture and death. In 1990 the first endovascular exclusion of an aneurysm, using an endoluminal graft implanted through the femoral arteries was performed. More recently, the same procedure has been used for aneurysms of the thoracic aorta. AIM To report our experience with endovascular treatment of thoracic aorta aneurysms. MATERIAL AND ...
متن کاملEndovascular stent-grafting for diseases of the descending thoracic aorta.
PRINCIPLES Endoluminal stent-grafts are emerging as a less invasive alternative to conventional open surgery in the management of descending thoracic aortic dissections and aneurysms. We describe our experience with endovascular stent-grafting in the treatment of thoracic aorta pathology. METHODS 17 Patients were treated with 23 endovascular stents. The underlying pathology was an atheroscler...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of traumatic pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta: report of three cases and review of
Abstract Traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneurysms have been treated traditionally with open surgery in the past, which have had noticeable rates of mortality and morbidity. A safer method of treatment for this disease is made possible with recent progress in endovascular treatment techniques. In this article, we present three cases of Traumatic descending thoracic aorta pseudo aneu...
متن کاملEndovascular treatment of thoracic aorta injury after spinal column surgery.
A 61-year-old woman with a history of left dorso-lumbar scoliosis and severe dorso-lumbar kyphosis underwent surgical treatment of a spinal deformity. Surgery was conducted on the patient by performing a dorso-lumbar spinal arthrodesis (T6-L5) by means of the insertion of two longitudinal rods and a number of pedicle-expander screws at different vertebral levels. Following the orthopedic surger...
متن کاملGenetics of postoperative complications following thoracic surgery.
The field of complex trait-gene interaction research has expanded exponentially in recent years, and new insights into the ways patients respond to surgical stimuli have arisen from this body of work. From a physiological systems perspective, thoracic surgical procedures (thoracotomy in particular) represent a massive input stimulus, and it is, therefore, not surprising that approximately 30% o...
