A case of double inflammatory aneurysms in the thoracic and abdominal aorta repaired simultaneously.
A 54-year-old male who had been experiencing a high fever for a month was admitted to a local hospital for examination. Computed tomography revealed saccular aneurysms in the descending thoracic aorta and infrarenal abdominal aorta. The walls of the aneurysms were thickened and enhanced by intravenous contrast which suggested the inflammatory change. He was transferred to this hospital and unde...
متن کاملRepair for aneurysms of the entire descending thoracic aorta or thoracoabdominal aorta using a deep hypothermia.
OBJECTIVE Replacement of the entire descending aorta or of the thoracoabdominal aorta still has a significant risk for postoperative paraplegia. Surgical strategies using a deep hypothermia to protect the spinal cord or viscera are discussed. METHODS From April 1994, 25 patients underwent graft replacement of the entire descending aorta (13 patients) or thoracoabdominal aorta (12 patients) us...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional echocardiographic evaluation of aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta.
To determine the ability of two-dimensional echocardiography (2-D echo) to detect aneurysms and dissections of the descending thoracic aorta (DTA), we studied 15 patients, five with proved DTA dissections (group A) and 10 with proved aneurysms without dissection (group B), using 2-D echo in three recording positions: precordial, suprasternal and a modified apical. The DTA was visualized in 14 o...
متن کاملCT of double descending thoracic aorta in an adult female.
Persistent double dorsal aorta is a rare congenital anomaly of the descending aorta. It is an anomaly with two variants. The first type is characterized by complete separation of two dorsal aortae. The second type is a double-lumen descending aorta with a central dividing septum from the level just below the ductal ligament to the aortic bifurcation. We present a completely separated double dor...
متن کاملTwo-Stage Endovascular Repair for Concurrent Penetrating Atherosclerotic Ulcers of the Thoracic and Abdominal Aorta
We report a case of concurrent saccular aneurysms caused by a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer of the thoracic and abdominal aorta that were successfully treated by staged endovascular repair. Even though surgical open repair or endovascular repair is the treatment option, use of endovascular repair is now accepted as an alternative treatment to surgery in selected patients. To prevent contras...
