Repeated Surgery for Recurrent Pseudoaneurysms after Thoracoabdominal Aortic Replacement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm formation in the aortic patch containing the intercostal or visceral arteries is an unusual late complication after thoracoabdominal aortic surgery. We report the case of a 58-year-old woman who had previously undergone thoracoabdominal aortic replacement (Crawford extent II) for dissecting aneurysm. About 12 months after the operation repeated pseudoaneurysmal degenerations occurred at the intercostal or visceral artery reattachment site. They were repaired with open surgery or endovascular stent-graft. The patient recovered without major complications, and computed tomographic scans showed no recurrence of aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm at the sites of repair 1 year after the procedure.

Combined surgical and endovascular treatment of pseudoaneurysms of the visceral arteries and of the left iliac arteries after thoracoabdominal aortic surgery.
A 60-year-old man who 10 years earlier underwent replacement of a thoracoabdominal type B dissecting aortic aneurysm with a Dacron graft, was admitted for an 8 cm pseudoaneurysm involving the coeliac axis, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and the right renal artery, and a 3 cm pseudoaneurysm involving the left iliac arteries (Fig. 1). During the primary procedure, the coeliac axis, the SMA ...
متن کاملMultiple Recurrent Pseudoaneurysms after Endovascular Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient with Behçet's Disease.
In Behçet's disease (BD) patients, endovascular repair is a reasonable alternative treatment for aortic aneurysms to avoid postoperative anastomotic pseudoaneurysms. However, there are some complications that may occur after endovascular repair. We herein report the case of a 40-year-old man with active BD developed recurrent aortic pseudoaneurysms at the proximal and distal margins of the sten...
متن کاملLong-term results of endovascular aortic repair for thoracic pseudoaneurysms after previous surgical coarctation repair.
OBJECTIVES Late aneurysm formation has been reported after every type of surgical coarctation repair in up to 10%, with rupture of such aneurysms being responsible for approximately 7% of all deaths. Secondary surgical repair carries a significant mortality (up to 15%) and morbidity rate (recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis ∼20%, phrenic nerve injury ∼5%). According to the positive experience w...

متن کاملCombination of two pseudoaneurysms in a patient 6 years after ascending aorta and aortic valve replacement.
BACKGROUND We report successful treatment of a patient 6 years after ascending aorta and aortic valve replacement suffering from a combination of two pseudoaneurysms. The first of them originated from the coronary ostial suture line and the second pseudoaneurysm originated from the distal suture line. METHODS We performed re-replantation of the left main trunk to the prosthesis and then we re...
