Non-Anastomotic Rupture of a Woven Dacron Graft in the Descending Thoracic Aorta Treated with Endovascular Stent Grafting

The intrinsic structural failure of a Dacron graft resulting from the loss of structural integrity of the graft fabric can cause late graft complications. Late non-anastomotic rupture has traditionally been treated surgically via open thoracotomy. We report a case of the successful use of thoracic endovascular repair to treat a Dacron graft rupture in the descending aorta. The rupture occurred ...

Takayasu's Arteritis Treated by Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty with Stenting in the Descending Aorta

A 17-yr-old young woman was referred to our hospital with a 2-yr history of claudication of the lower extremities and severe arterial hypertension. Physical examination revealed significantly different blood pressures between both arms (160/92 and 180/95 mmHg) and legs (92/61 and 82/57 mmHg).

Descending Aorta Rupture During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement.

A 88-year-old woman with a permanent VDD pacemaker and severe aortic stenosis underwent elective transcath-eter aortic valve replacement because of high surgical risk (logistic Euroscore of 35.3%). Aortic valve area was 0.5 cm 2 , mean gradient was 86 mm Hg, and left ventricular ejection fraction was 64% on transthoracic echocardiography. Aortic annulus sizing was 23.5 and 23.7 mm by transesoph...
