[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 کاملMycotic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta
Mycotic aneurysm has become rare since the introduction of penicillin. However, clinicians should be aware and consider the possibility as delayed treatment can lead to poor outcomes. We report the case of a 23-year-old Malay lady with congenital scoliosis presenting with back pain and fever. Computer tomography scan showed a large pseudo-aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta and a smaller pseu...
متن کاملTuberculous pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta.
Tuberculous mycotic aortic aneurysm is a rare disease with a high mortality rate.(1-5) Its prevalent location is the descending thoracic aorta in the patient with disseminated tuberculosis. Most of these aneurysms have been of the pseudoaneurysm type. We report the case of a 37-year-old woman with tuberculous pseudoaneurym of the descending aorta that was initially mistaken for a lung lesion an...
متن کاملFunctional chiral asymmetry in descending thoracic aorta.
To determine whether rotational blood flow or chiral asymmetry exists in the human descending thoracic aorta, we established the ability of color Doppler ultrasound to detect rotational flow in a tornado tube model of a vortex descending fluid column. In a model of the human aortic arch with a pulse duplicator, color Doppler was then used to demonstrate that rotational flow occurs first in the ...
متن کاملIntraoperative Descending Aorta Dissection During Cardiac Surgery
Intraoperative acute aortic dissection is a rare and potentially fatal complication of open cardiac surgery,the reported incidence of which is approximately 0.16% to 0.35% [1]. Its early diagnosis and treatment are essential to achieve a favorable outcome. Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is routinely used intraoperatively during open cardiac surgery and is the only useful monitor for det...
