Late thoracic pseudo-aneurysm causing collapse of vascular prostheses.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The outcome of patients with thoracic vascular prostheses is usually uneventful. We report two cases of collapse of thoracic vascular prostheses which occurred ten and forty years, respectively, after the implantation. The diagnoses were obtained preoperatively by CT-scan or NMR and angiography. Both patients were successfully treated with prosthetic replacement by an open approach.

متن کاملPseudo-aneurysm formation post apico-aortic conduit.
Apico-aortic conduit (AAC) is an alternative to conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) in selected high-risk patients. It involves the interposition of a vascular graft with a prosthetic valve from the left ventricular (LV) apex to the descending thoracic aorta. Its use is uncommon but increasing. We describe the complication of pseudo-aneurysm formation following an apico-aortic procedure...

متن کاملVenous pseudo-aneurysm as a late complication of short-term central venous catheterisation
Complications following central venous catheterisation abound in the medical literature. This reflects the under-estimated potential hazards associated with this procedure as well as an increase in the number of such procedures performed in high-risk patients. We report on a case where a venous pseudo-aneurysm developed four months after the removal of a short-term central venous catheter in a ...
متن کاملObservations on the failure of stent-grafts in the aortic arch.
INTRODUCTION The results of endovascular stent-grafts in the abdominal aorta and descending thoracic aorta have been encouraging. Expanding the use of thoracic stent-grafts in to the aortic arch has been associated with increasing numbers of complications. Recently isolated cases of stent-graft collapse have been reported. METHODS This was a multi-centre European case series. Data was collect...
