Traumatic false aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is not uncommon. But accordingly this case is unusual in its ten year delay between injury and presentation and treatment. A victim of the Iran-Iraq war is presented with a false aneurysm of the thoracic aorta ten years after a bullet injury to the chest and thoracic spine. Penetrating chest wounds, mechanisms of injury and diagnosis are also ...

a 32-year-old female patient with previous bentall operation and mitral valve repair surgery due to severe aortic insufficiency, mitral valve insufficiency, and ascending aortic aneurysm was admitted to our hospital with serious dyspnea, fatigue, and mild chest pain. two-dimensional echocardiography demonstrated a markedly dilated basal aorta and cardiac chambers. thoracic computed tomography s...

behcet’s disease is a rare immune mediated systemic vasculitis which besides it’s more frequent involvement of eyes and skin,   sometimes present with aortic pseudo aneurysm and more rarely cardiac inflammatory masses.a 51-year-old patient with behçet’s disease presented with two symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms concomitant with a right atrial mass. computed tomography (ct) revealed one supra...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 takayasu's arteritis (ta), also known as pulseless disease or occlusive thromboaortopathy, is a form of vasculitis of unknown cause that chiefly affects the aorta and its major branches, most frequently in young women. we describe an 18-year-old female with a soft and pulsatile mass in the left side of her neck. normal 0 f...

a 46 year old man had been undergone aortic valve replacement (avr) due to mechanical aortic valve endocarditis two month ago. he was referred to imam khomeini hospital because of dyspnea since two weeks ago. echocardiography showed the false aneurysm, with an area of flow beyond the lumen of the aorta. this patient underwent reoperation, the previously implanted aortic valve was removed, metic...

OBJECTIVES We sought to demonstrate the long-term natural course of descending aorta dilation after acute aortic dissection (AD) and identify early predictors for late aneurysmal change. BACKGROUND Aneurysmal dilation of the aorta is a critical late complication in AD patients. METHODS Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was performed during the acute phase in 100 AD patients, compri...

Aorto-cutaneous fistula and false aneurysm of the ascending aorta in patients who previously underwent Stanford Type A acute aortic dissection are rare and severe complications. Surgical correction remains a demanding challenge. In a case of false aneurysm rupture during redo sternotomy, selective cannulation of the right axillary and left carotid arteries allowed an efficient method of cerebra...

case relates to the fact that the mouth of the false aneurysm lay in the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa, the junctional tissue between the mitral and aortic valves. The close relationship between this structure and the epicardium was responsible for the peculiar location of the aneurysm in the epicardium between the aorta and the left atrium. Rupture of the false aneurysm led to a fatal he...
