Large aortic pseudoaneurysm after Bentall procedure in a patient with Marfan's syndrome.

Project description:An 11-year-old male with Marfan's syndrome and aortic root dilatation underwent an uneventful Bentall procedure to replace his aortic root and valve. Five months later, surveillance echocardiogram revealed a slowly enlarging pseudoaneurysm arising from the ascending aorta. This finding was subsequently confirmed by computed tomographic angiogram. The patient had successful open surgical repair and paraaortic hematoma evacuation.

Surgical management of a giant ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm.

Project description:Aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare, life-threatening complication after cardiac or aortic root surgery. When a pseudoaneurysm has eroded bony structures in the chest, the surgeon's challenge is to choose the safest approach for sternotomy. Herein, we report the case of a 74-year-old woman who presented with a giant pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta, 8 years after undergoing aortic valve replacement. The 8.9×5.8-cm formation arose in the anterior aortic sinus, extended to the retrosternal region, exerted mass effect on the main pulmonary artery, and eroded the bony structures of the sternum and medial upper chest. A new aortic valved tissue conduit was placed, and the coronary arteries were reimplanted. The patient recovered without neurologic sequelae. We discuss the characteristics of this case and explain our surgical decisions.

Percutaneous Approach for Late Left Main Coronary Detachment Resulting in Aortic Pseudoaneurysm After Bentall Procedure.

Project description:We describe the case of 35-year-old patient with known Marfan syndrome, and previously treated by a Bentall procedure, who presented with an aortic pseudoaneurysm secondary to a partial proximal left main coronary artery detachment fixed by covered stent implantation. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Acute Aortic Syndrome of Ascending Thoracic Aorta: Transcarotid Percutaneous Exclusion of a Ruptured Pseudoaneurysm.

Project description:Treatment of ascending aorta disease is surgical; however, some series have evaluated the effectiveness of endovascular treatment. We report the case of a patient with a ruptured pseudoaneurysm who underwent endovascular repair via the left common carotid artery. The clinical and neurological evolution was satisfactory during the in-hospital follow-up. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Minimally invasive closure of a progressive pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta: A case report.

Project description:Ascending aortic pseudoaneurysm (AAP) is rare but may cause life-threatening complications. Although the placement of a stent graft and the use of occluder devices and vascular plugs to exclude pseudoaneurysm are adopted for some patients, the management of progressive pseudoaneurysms that may rupture at any time remains a challenge that needs to be addressed. In this study, we present the case of a patient with an AAP that was caused by aortic and mitral valve replacement for the giant left ventricle. Aortic pseudoaneurysm was suspected on the basis of a spherical cystic echo (70 × 80 mm) of the ascending aorta; this pseudoaneurysm was detected by an ultrasonic cardiogram, and the diagnosis was confirmed by an aortic computed tomography angiography (CTA) examination. To prevent the unexpected rupture of a progressive pseudoaneurysm, our patient was treated with a 28- mm ASD occluder without any procedural complications. Our patient has a good prognosis, which will inspire clinicians to choose minimally invasive procedures when dealing with such high-risk cases in emergency situations.

A giant floating thrombus in the ascending aorta: a case report.

Project description:Background: A floating thrombus in an ascending aorta with normal morphology is very rare, but when it does occur, it may induce a systemic embolism or fatal stroke. The pathophysiological mechanisms of aortic mural thrombi remain unclear, and there is no consensus regarding therapeutic recommendations.Case presentation: We report a 49-year-old male who presented with chest discomfort for 5 days and was admitted to our emergency unit. A contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography (CTA) surprisingly demonstrated a large filling defect suggestive of a thrombus in his otherwise healthy distal ascending aorta. Surgical resection of the mass and attachment site was performed. Histological examination confirmed that the mass was a thrombus, but the cause of the thrombus formation was unknown.Conclusions: floating aortic thrombi are rare, and they are prone to break off, thus carrying a potential risk for embolic events with catastrophic consequences. Surgical resection, both of the aortic thrombus and attachment site, as well as postoperative anticoagulant administration, are standard treatments.

Dissection of Ascending Aorta: A Complication of Transradial Artery Access of Coronary Procedure.

Project description:Iatrogenic acute dissection of ascending aorta following coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention is a rare complication. Most reports involve localized aortic dissections as a complication of cannulation of a coronary artery with propagation into the ascending aorta. It is usually treated by sealing the intima with a stent in the ostium of the coronary artery or conservative management, while extensive dissections may require a surgical intervention. We describe a case of the subclavian dissection extending into the ascending aorta that occurred during diagnostic catheterization using the radial approach. The patient was successfully treated utilizing conservative management.

Asymptomatic floating thrombus in the ascending aorta depicted on four-dimensional computed tomography.

Project description:Aortic mural thrombi of the ascending aorta are rare. If an aortic mural thrombus is dislodged, it can cause various embolic complications, which can sometimes be fatal. Although contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and transesophageal echography are useful for diagnosing aortic mural thrombi, four-dimensional CT (4D-CT) is one of the most useful modalities for both diagnosis and treatment selection in such cases. 4D-CT can be used to evaluate the morphology and mobility of thrombi. Furthermore, it is minimally invasive. To the best of our knowledge, there have not been any reports about 4D-CT being used to depict an asymptomatic ascending aortic thrombus. We report a very unusual case, involving an aortic mural thrombus of the ascending aorta.
