Percutaneous coil embolisation of a false aortic aneurysm following coronary surgery and mediastinitis.

چکیده
A 71-year-old male patient was admitted with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus mediastinitis two months after coronary artery bypass grafting. Treatment with immediate surgical debridement, removal of sternal wires and use of vacuum-assisted closure device was started. Spiral computerised tomography and aortography revealed a false aortic aneurysm at the cannulation site. Active mediastinitis and the patient's objection to further surgery led us to perform percutaneous coil embolisation. No postoperative complication was observed and one year later the patient is in excellent condition.

However , in the case of a false aneurysm of the thyrocervical trunk, would coil embolisation not be a more appropriate method for percutaneous endovascular control? Finally, the authors suggest that the residual haematoma in a false aneurysm would not be resorbed after stent control. What evidence do they have for t...

Bicuspid aortic valve is traditionally considered an innocuous congenital anomaly. Due to a better and widespread availability of non-invasive imaging techniques, it has come to the fore that 30% of these cases develop complications, viz., valve abnormality (aortic regurgitation and stenosis), and aneurysm of aortic root and ascending aorta. Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon complicatio...
