aortopulmonary window associated with an ascending aorta aneurysm in an adult

Aortopulmonary Window Associated with an Ascending Aorta Aneurysm in an Adult.

Aortopulmonary window (APW) is a rare congenital malformation. It results from an incomplete division between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery. We describe a 26-year-old male, who presented with a grade II exertional dyspnea and palpitations. Echocardiography revealed an APW with an ascending aorta aneurysm. He underwent surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass without aortic cross-clam...

Aneurysm of the Ascending Aorta

Between January 1983 and March 1988 25 patients with aneurysms of the ascending aorta were operated, out of these only 15 (56%) electively. Acute incompetence (10) were the main indications for operation. Poststenotic aneurysms (2), mycotic (2) and saccular sclerotic (1) aneurysms have also been observed. A rare case of a ruptured ascending aorta due to histologically and serologically proven B...

Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta in a patient with ascending aorta aneurysm and our surgical procedure

Methods We presented the case of 58-year-old man. He admitted to our hospital with for chest pain. Chest computed tomography showed that the ascending aorta was 55 mm and a pseudoaneurysm was observed about 2 cm of noncoronary cusp. Arterial access to establish cardiopulmonary bypass performed via the right common femoral artery. Venous cannulation was performed with right atrial double-stage c...

huge dissected ascending aorta associated with pseudo aneurysm and aortic coarctation feridoun

we report a unique case of chronic dissection of the ascending aorta complicated with huge and thrombotic pseudoaneurysm in a patient with coarctation of descending aorta. preoperative investigations such as transesophageal echocardiography (tee) confirmed the diagnosis of dissection. intraoperative findings included a12 cm eccentric bulge of the right lateral side of dilated the ascending aort...

Aortopulmonary window and interrupted aortic arch with Eisenmenger syndrome in an adult.

Prenatal diagnosis of ascending aorta aneurysm.

At the age of 3 months, the patient is asymptomatic and the size of the aneurysm has not changed. The majority of ascending aorta aneurysms reported in the literature to date are diagnosed during childhood or adolescence and are associated with connective tissue diseases such as Marfan syndrome or EhlersDanlos syndrome, or with cardiac or extracardiac malformations. Very few aneurysms that are ...
