Superior vena cava syndrome secondary to chronic dissecting aortic aneurysm after aortic valve replacement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ascending aortic aneurysm is a rare cause of superior vena cava syndrome. Herein, we describe a case of superior vena cava syndrome caused by a chronic dissecting aortic aneurysm after aortic valve replacement. A successful replacement of the aortic root and ascending aorta led to an improvement of edema of the face and bilateral upper limbs caused by superior vena cava syndrome.

The Largest Reported Dissecting Aneurysm of Ascending Aorta Following Aortic Valve Replacement Accompanied by Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
BACKGROUND Ascending aortic dissection (AAD) is a rare and serious complication of aortic valve replacement. Multiple risk factors such as connective tissue disease, aortic wall thinning, aortic diameter, calcification of wall, structural features of aortic wall and associated diseases have been considered as a predisposing factor for the occurrences of AAD. Preoperative recognition of these va...

A patient with a dissecting thoracic aortic aneurysm presented with acute low output cardiac failure due to right atrial obstruction. Five years earlier she had had her aortic valve replaced because of aortic regurgitation. Obstruction of the superior vena cava and pulmonary artery has been reported elsewhere as a complication of compression by thoracic aortic dissecting aneurysm. This case was...

Syphilitic aortitis is usually associated with thoracic aortic saccular aneurysm, aortic regurgitation and coronary ostial stenosis. However, syphilitic aneurysms have rarely been reported today. Here, we report a patient with ascending aortic aneurysm with aorta-superior vena cava (SVC) fistula with positive syphilitic test. A 52-year-old man was admitted to our institution with a giant ascend...

متن کاملSuperior Vena Cava Syndrome with Massive Thrombosis after Aortic Valve Replacement
Background: Superior vena cava syndrome is uncommon after cardiac surgery, because the formation of thrombus after cardiopulmonary bypass rarely occurs. Case presentation: Herein, we present a case of a patient with dynamic severe mitral regurgitation after aortic valve replacement. Whereas the treatment of this disorder was a challenge, the real complication, an early-onset and massive thrombo...
