Localized Aortic Root Dissection with a Superior Mesenteric Artery Aneurysm
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the case of a 46-year-old female patient with localized aortic root dissection and a superior mesenteric artery (SMA) aneurysm is described. Computed tomographic angiography could not clearly delineate an intimal flap in the aortic root, but it detected SMA aneurysm, which implied the presence of a vulnerability of the aortic wall. Finally, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) evidently showed the intimal flap localized in the aortic root. The present case suggests that TEE is of paramount importance for detecting localized aortic root dissection. In addition, a coexisting vascular lesion may be a clue to diagnose another vascular lesion.

Ruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery aneurysm associated with median arcuate ligament compression and aortic dissection successfully treated with embolotherapy.
A 51-year-old man with a ruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysm caused by compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament and aortic dissection involving the celiac axis was transferred to our hospital for endovascular treatment. A 4-F catheter was advanced into the superior mesenteric artery through the narrow true lumen via the left brachial artery, and coil emboli...

A Stanford Type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening surgical emergency that requires emergent surgery. The mortality after repair is high especially if the aortic dissection is complicated by visceral or peripheral malperfusion. We describe a case of a male patient who presented with an aortic dissection involving the ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta, and the abdomi...
متن کاملEmergency bedside ultrasound diagnosis of superior mesenteric artery dissection complicating acute aortic dissection.
BACKGROUND A timely diagnosis of aortic dissection is associated with lower mortality. The use of emergent bedside ultrasound has been described to diagnose aortic dissection. However, there is limited literature regarding the use of bedside ultrasound to identify superior mesenteric artery dissection, a known high-risk feature of aortic dissection. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to present a case of ...
متن کاملChronic Abdominal Aortic Dissection with Large Aneurysm Unsuitable for Endovascular Treatment
A 70 year-old male sustained an AAD 8 years previously and was being monitored for an enlarging abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). A computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed an 8cm diameter AAA extending 9cm above the origin of the coeliac axis (CA). At the level of renal arteries (RAs) there was a dissection flap pressurising the false lumen. Both the RAs arose from the true lumen as did the supe...

Introduction: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. Although ACD is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentat...
