Aortic dissection, with rupture through ductus arteriosus into pulmonary artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A unique case of dissecting aneurysm of the aorta is presented. The dissection spread via a ductus arteriosus to the pulmonary artery andformed a re-entry window at the junction of the main and left pulmonary arteries. Cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography confirmed the presence and approximate site of thefistula. Surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass was effective in closing it. The patient remains well I8 months later.

Figure 1: A 71-year old woman was investigated with a CT scan in 2007, which revealed a previous David’s procedure, a dilated arch and descending aorta, without dissection, and a PDA (A). She was then treated with a percutaneous PDA correction. Four years later, she was referred to our institution with acute dyspnoea and chest pain, along with a CT scan showing a type A aortic dissection, which...
متن کاملRupture of an aortic aneurysm into the pulmonary artery.
Since ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus is now a popular and effective operation, it is of practical interest to consider other cardiac conditions that, by producing a similar murmur, may lead to a pre-operative error in diagnosis. If the " mill-wheel" or " machinery" murmur of patent ductus arteriosus has not fully developed, the error may be one of oversight, but confusion may also arise...

The continuous machinery murmur heard over the pulmonary area is generally evidence of a patent ductus arteriosus, but there are exceptions when the murmur is due to congenital aortic septal defect (Gross, 1952; Gasul et al., 1951), to perforated aortic sinus into the right ventricle (Jones and Langley, 1949; Wood, 1950), or to rupture of an aortic aneurysm into the pulmonary artery (White et a...

A 12-year-old boy with ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus was presented to the operating room. Upon clamping the patent ductus arteriosus, the femoral arterial pressure curve was lost; however, it returned upon unclamping. Upon further dissection, an interrupted aortic arch was found between the left subclavian artery and patent ductus arteriosus. The surgery was discontinue...
