Pseudoaneurysm following aortic homograft: clinical implications?
OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of pseudoaneurysm formation after aortic (left ventricular outflow tract) homograft implantation and to evaluate predisposing factors. METHODS Echocardiographic data were analysed in 30 patients for evidence of pseudoaneurysm formation after homograft implantation. Pseudoaneurysm was characterised as a perfused echo-free space between the homograft and th...
متن کاملAn Aortic Pseudoaneurysm following Bentall Procedure.
We describe a rare case of an ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm detected incidentally at coronary angiography in a 64-year-old man with a history of a Bentall procedure 8 years previously. The patient underwent reoperation, with longitudinal opening and cleaning of the aortic pseudoaneurysm and graft repair of the defect. This report highlights the insidious late onset of pseudoaneurysm and the i...
متن کاملAscending aortic pseudoaneurysm following open heart surgery.
A 25-year-old female presented with hemoptysis one year after ASD closure. Chest radiograph revealed large mediast-inal opacity (Fig. 1b) not present immediately after the previous surgery (Fig. 1a). Multislice CT (Fig. 2) revealed two ascending aortic pseudoaneurysms. Resection and homograft patch reconstruction of ascending aorta was successfully performed. Fig. 1. (a) Chest radiograph immedi...
متن کاملAortic root pseudoaneurysm following surgery for aortic valve endocarditis.
Prosthetic aortic valve replacement for aortic valve endocarditis remains a primary practice of most cardiac surgeons. Usually it cures endocarditis and restores cardiac function. However, in advanced aortic valve endocarditis with complex annular destruction, complications following prosthetic aortic valve replacement do occur and present a formidable challenge for reoperation. Herein, we desc...
متن کاملBacterial endocarditis following homograft replacement of the aortic valve.
Endocarditis was encountered on an aortic homograft valve in 14 of 539 patients, giving a total incidence of 2.6%. It was an early postoperative complication in five patients (0.9%), and only one of these survived. Four hundred and six hospital survivors were followed for periods up to 76 mo. Nine of these patients (2.2%) developed infection of the homograft valve 11 to 66 mo postoperatively an...
