vein of galen aneurysmal malformation (vgam) is a rare congenital malformation, accounting for less than 1% of cerebrovascular abnormalities. the majority of reported cases have been associated with congestive heart failure (chf) in the neonatal period. herein, we present a case of vgam, diagnosed at 37 weeks of gestation during the intrauterine life case report: a full-term female newborn pres...

Herein, we report a patient with arterio-venous fistula secondary to mycotic aneurysm, causing high output heart failure. The patient had one-year history of refractory heart failure and recurrent pulmonary edema. This presentation is a good example of curative surgically treatable cause of high-output congestive heart failure.Iran J Med Sci 2005; 30(1): 41-44. Keywords ● Arterio-venous fistula...

pseudoaneurysms of the ascending aorta, which are rare and life-threatening complications in cardiovascular surgeries, can be caused by the bentall procedure. we describe a 44-year-old woman, who had a medical history of acute aortic dissection (type a) and the bentall procedure and was admitted because of exertional dyspnea, edema of the lower extremities, ascites, and holosystolic murmur in t...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none x-none background:abnormalities of the sinus of valsalva are usually congenital and quite rare among other heart deficiencies. they are frequently presented with aneurysm formation and the symptoms raised because of their existence vary. when rupture of an aneurysm occurs –more often in the right chambers of the heart -severe complications as cardiogenic ...

there are many treatment modalities available to acutely terminate incessant ventricular tachycardia with variable success rates, but some cases tend to prove refractory to all of them. we report a 59-year-old woman presenting with incessant ventricular tachycardia. echocardiography revealed a large true apical aneurysm and severe left ventricular dysfunction. the arrhythmia was controlled in t...

Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation (VGAM) is a rare congenital malformation, accounting for less than 1% of cerebrovascular abnormalities. The majority of reported cases have been associated with congestive heart failure (CHF) in the neonatal period. Herein, we present a case of VGAM, diagnosed at 37 weeks of gestation during the intrauterine life Case report: A full-term female newborn pre...

conclusion results reinforced the pivotal role of vascular geometry, with respect to hemodynamics, together with the importance of performing patient-specific cfd analyses, through which the effect of different blood flow conditions on the aneurysm hemodynamics could be evaluated. objectives this study aimed to investigate the effects of variations in heart rate and internal carotid artery (ica...

aortopulmonary window (apw) is a rare congenital malformation. it results from an incomplete division between the ascending aorta and the pulmonary artery. we describe a 26-year-old male, who presented with a grade ii exertional dyspnea and palpitations. echocardiography revealed an apw with an ascending aorta aneurysm. he underwent surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass without aortic cross-clam...
