False aortic aneurysm at site of previous coarctation repair: the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a 37-year-old who presented with hemoptysis. Twenty-one years previously he had undergone Dacron patch aortoplasty for coarctation. Initial investigations failed to reveal the cause of the hemoptysis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) demonstrated an aneurysm at the site of the repair. He underwent successful repair of the aneurysm with a Gelseal interpositional graft.

Blood Flow Simulation in an Aorta with a mild coarctation Using Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Finite Volume Method
Coarctation of the aorta is one of the five main congenital cardiovascular failures, accounting for 6–8 percent of these failures. This research aimed to simulate the blood flow of a seventeen-year-old male teen with a mild coarctation at one-third of his aorta's descending branch. The simulation was performed by extracting the domain and the input pulsatile velocity signal as the boundary cond...
متن کاملMultidirectional flow analysis by cardiovascular magnetic resonance in aneurysm development following repair of aortic coarctation
Aneurysm formation is a life-threatening complication after operative therapy in coarctation. The identification of patients at risk for the development of such secondary pathologies is of high interest and requires a detailed understanding of the link between vascular malformation and altered hemodynamics. The routine morphometric follow-up by magnetic resonance angiography is a well-establish...
متن کاملIntercostal artery aneurysm postcoarctation repair diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography.
A 69-year-old man was referred for investigation of a right upper chest mass. In 1965 he had an aortic coarctation resected with Dacron graft insertion. He remained asymptomatic for the intervening 33 years before presenting with breathlessness on exertion. A chest x-ray showed a right upper lobe mass, and computed tomography showed a descending aorta aneurysm. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance...
متن کاملDiagnosis of a postsurgical aortic pseudoaneurysm in Shone syndrome by cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
A 34-year-old male was admitted with increasing dyspnea on exertion for the past 3 years. He was born with shone syndrome. Shone syndrome was first described by Shone et al. in 1963 and consists of four obstructive, or potentially obstructive conditions of the heart. These are a “parachute” deformity of the mitral valve, supravalvular ring of the left atrium, subaortic stenosis, and aortic coar...
متن کاملMycotic pseudoaneurysm associated with aortic coarctation.
Development of a mycotic aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm after subacute bacterial endarteritis is uncommon. Nonetheless, patients with coarctation of the aorta are more likely to develop this complication. We describe a case of a large pseudoaneurysm discovered in a child with a previously undiagnosed aorta coarctation. Successful repair was performed with the aid of partial left heart bypass and th...
