cardiac tamponade during thoracic endovascular aortic repair

Cardiac tamponade during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (CASE REPORT)

Th oracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is still associated with complications which include mortality in 7.3% of cases. In this report, we describe the case of a man with a pseudoaneurysm of the aortic isthmus that was scheduled to undergo endovascular repair. During the procedure, the patient had a sudden cardiac arrest due to a compressive hemopericardium caused by perforation of the as...

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for thoracic aortic mobile thrombus

Thoracic aortic mobile thrombus is a rare and significant source of peripheral, visceral, as well as cerebral emboli. A 51-year-old female with a history of emergency left brachial artery embolectomy 5 months previously was referred to our unit for evaluation of a mobile thrombus in the descending thoracic aorta. We describe the successful primary treatment of a symptomatic mobile thrombus in t...

Contrast-Enhanced TEE During Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair Procedure.

Contrast transesophageal echocardiography (cTEE) was superior to both TEE and angiography (ANGIO) alone in the assessment of slow flow and remaining flow in the false lumen/aneurysmal sac after stent-graft implantation and in the detection of incomplete stent-graft apposition. (A) TEE demonstrated the presence of type B dissection with evidence of malperfusion. After stent deployment and true l...

endovascular repair of blunt traumatic thoracic aortic injuries

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortobronchial fistulas.

BACKGROUND Thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortobronchial fistulas is an emerging treatment modality for this highly lethal condition. The feasibility and long-term durability of this form of intervention are largely unknown. METHODS The records of five patients who received endografts to treat aortobronchial fistulas at our institution were reviewed. A literature review was also condu...
