DISSECTING ANEURYSM OF AORTA Mitral valve
نویسنده
چکیده
T WO UNUSUAL features have prompted us to report the following case of dissecting aneurysm of the aorta. The x-ray shadow of the aneurysm was interpreted as due to a paramediastinal effusion in a patient with known pulmonary tuberculosis. An attempted aspiration led to perforation through the dissection into the lumen of the aorta which resulted in a fatal cardiac tamponade. At necropsy the aorta exhibited a healed medial dissection with complete absence of an intimal tear.

The Use of Beta-blockers in General Pathology
The use of beta-blockers in general pathology increased so much, that there is almost no therapy domain with any interference of these substances. This paper describes the use and the action of the betablockers in the following pathologies: pheochromocitoma, Tetralogy of Fallot, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, aorta dissecting aneurysm, mitral valve prolapse, thyrotoxicosis, orthostati...
متن کاملAortic root dissection. Another cause of early systolic closure of the aortic valve.
An early systolic closure of the aortic valve was recorded in the echocardiogram in two patients with aortic root dissection. This sign, initially described in discrete subaortic stenosis and occasionally observed in mitral regurgitation and interventricular septal defect, has not so far been described in dissecting aneurysm of the aorta.
متن کاملDuplication of aortic wall seen by echocardiography.
In four patients, echocardiography showed duplication of an aortic wall echo. An aortic dissection was present in only one. Other causes for the echocardiographic pattern were abscess in the interventricular septum, mitral stenosis, and dilatation of the noncoronary sinus of Valsalva. Division of the echo from the mitral ring into two separate posterior aortic wall echoes was seen only in the p...
متن کاملSupra-aortic stenosis associated with Marfan's syndrome.
The association of arachnodactyly with other skeletal abnormalities and with ocular and cardiac malformations is now well recognized, and numbers of cases illustrating the syndrome have been reported in recent years. The main cardiac malformations have been degeneration of the aortic media with dissecting aneurysm or aneurysmal dilatation, usually of the ascending aorta, but coarctation, change...
متن کاملSimultaneous multi-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting, ischemic mitral regurgitation repair and descending aortic aneurysm replacement: analysis of technical points.
The combination of coronary artery disease and its complications (ischemic mitral regurgitation etc.) with the aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta is not a rare case. The single-stage correction of coronary/intracardiac/aortic lesions may be considered as a way of managing the combined patients. Simultaneous multi-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting, suture mitral annuloplasty and desc...
