Successful valve-sparing in aortic root reconstruction under endoscopic guidance.
OBJECTIVE Aortic insufficiency (AI) associated with ascending aneurysm can be corrected by valve-sparing aortic root reconstruction ('David' reimplantation, 'Yacoub' remodeling). Intraoperative endoscopic evaluation in the aortic root may help to clarify the procedure and to access competence of the preserved valve. METHODS Following cross-clamping of the ascending aorta, an endoscopy was ins...
متن کاملThoracic EndoVascular Stent Graft Repair for Aortic Aneurysm
BACKGROUND The number of cases employing thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been increasing due to lower morbidity and mortality compared to open repair technique. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of TEVAR for thoracic aortic diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen patients underwent TEVAR from October 2003 to April 2010. Mean age at operation was 59 years (20~78 ...
متن کاملBreath-hold gadolinium-enhanced three-dimensional MR thoracic aortography: higher spatial resolution imaging with phased-array coil and three-dimensional surface display.
The aim of this study was to examine signal intensities of data sets from MR thoracic aortography and to evaluate three-dimensional surface display (3DSD) for postprocessing. Twenty-five patients were imaged with gadolinium-enhanced 3D fast gradient echo sequence. The intensity at the aortic arch was significantly higher than that at the mediastinal fat (p<0.0001). The signal-to-noise ratio was...
متن کاملCarbon Dioxide Angiography: Scientific Principles and Practice
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless gas which occurs naturally in the atmosphere and human body. With the advent of digital subtraction angiography, the gas has been used as a safe and useful alternative contrast agent in both arteriography and venography. Because of its lack of renal toxicity and allergic potential, CO2 is a preferred contrast agent in patients with renal failure or ...
متن کاملEarly diagnosis of traumatic thoracic aortic rupture by transesophageal echocardiography.
Traumatic aorta rupture survival depends on early diagnosis requiring aortography. Aortography is the "gold standard" method, but it is time-consuming and may be dangerous in trauma patients with multiple organ injuries. Transesophageal echocardiography is a noninvasive technology that can be performed at the bedside. We report two cases in which transesophageal echocardiography enabled us to m...
