Contrast inhomogeneity in CT angiography of the abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Duplex ultrasound and computed tomography angiography in the follow-up of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: a comparative study*

OBJECTIVE To compare duplex ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) angiography in terms of their performance in detecting endoleaks, as well as in determining the diameter of the aneurysm sac, in the postoperative follow-up of endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective study involving 30 patients who had undergone endovascular repair of infrar...

Renal cysts and abdominal aortic aneurysms: Are they associated? A study by using multi-detector-row CT angiography

Management of anesthesia in a patient with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm: A case report

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysm is a multifactorial condition which associated with aging and atherosclerosis. During aneurysm surgery, hypotension after aortic clamp removing occure commonly that require specific treatments. This case report showes administration of blood and hemodynamic control methods after aortic unclumping during aortic aneurysm surgery. Patient: A 75–years-o...

Mycotic aortic aneurysm as a postsurgical complication: report of a case and review of the literature

Mycotic aneurysms are localized and irreversible dilatations of the arteries caused by weakening and damaging the arterial wall by an invasive organism establishing infective arteritis. Mycotic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a rare event; however, it can be fatal if not diagnosed early or not treated appropriately. Clinical findings are usually nonspecific; however, c...

Pre-operative computed tomography in abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Major additional pathology, in the abdomen or directly related to the aneurysm itself, which influenced surgical management was demonstrated in 39 (34.5%) of 113 patients with suspected abdominal aortic aneurysm who had undergone pre-operative assessment with computed tomography (CT). Major additional pathology within the abdomen was shown in 11 (9.7%) and related to the aneurysm itself in 26 (...
