High riding innominate artery: An unusual pulsatile pretracheal mass.

ABSTRACT: Anterior neck masses are common and such patients commonly present to ultrasonography units for further evaluation of underlying pathology. We encountered an atypical case of pulsatile anterior neck swelling in a 45-year-old lady. Evaluation of the swelling using neck ultrasonography and color doppler study revealed that the mass was of vascular origin and contrast-enhanced computed tomography of neck confirmed the presence of an aberrant high riding innominate artery. Knowledge of such variants is of great importance and should be reported by the concerned radiologist. Lack of knowledge of such variants may lead to inadvertent surgical complications during procedures and can be life-threatening to the patient.

Virtual modeling and interactive virtual reality display of unusual high-riding cervical aortic arch.

Project description:A cervical aortic arch is a rare vascular malformation that is characterized as a high positioned aortic arch, above the clavicle. The knowledge of its branching pattern is essential to characterize the entity further accurately. Noninvasive cross-sectional imaging, including computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography, is the imaging methods of choice. Due to highly complex anatomy, three-dimensional (3D) images help in providing improved anatomical visualization. Virtual reality is a relatively new computer-generated simulation technique that allows the interactive display of high-resolution models using a wearable headset and interactive controllers. We describe a rare form of a cervical arch and briefly discuss the latest methods of improved visualization using 3D virtual reality displays and smartphones.

Innominate artery patency after direct cannulation in neonates.

Project description:ObjectiveThe study objective was to determine the short-term incidence of innominate artery stenosis for neonates who underwent direct innominate artery cannulation during the Norwood procedure.MethodsThis is a retrospective, single-institution review of 92 patients who underwent the Norwood procedure with direct innominate artery cannulation from 2006 to 2017. The primary outcome was angiographic evidence of patency at pre-Glenn cardiac catheterization. Patient characteristics, intraoperative surgical and hemodynamic measurements, and postoperative neurologic findings were recorded.ResultsAt a median age of 5.0 days, 92 neonates underwent the Norwood procedure with direct innominate artery cannulation. These patients underwent cardiac catheterization at a median of 3.0 months after the index operation. In 5 of 92 patients with catheterization images available for review, there was angiographic evidence of mild innominate artery stenosis, and none had moderate or severe stenosis. Review of follow-up records did not reveal evidence of clinically significant stenosis or innominate artery reintervention.ConclusionsIn neonates undergoing the Norwood procedure with direct innominate cannulation, innominate artery stenosis was uncommon and clinically significant stenosis did not occur.

Aberrant innominate artery: A possible hazard during total laryngectomy.

Project description:BackgroundSurgical management in laryngeal carcinoma remains a challenge with countless unexpected complications. Great vessel anomalies such as anomaly of the innominate artery carry high risk of morbidity and mortality if not managed properly.MethodsWe present our first experience with an aberrant innominate artery during total laryngectomy which complicated the whole surgical procedure and tracheostoma placement.ResultsWe decided to place a pectoralis major muscle flap to separate and cover up the aberrant vessel from the trachea and end-stoma which ultimately did not lead to major complications postoperatively and postradiation therapy.ConclusionAberrant innominate artery is an extremely rare entity and failure of recognizance can lead to hazardous complications. Preoperative angiography needs to be done if there are high suspicions of aberrant vessels in the operative field. Careful dissection of the head and neck region, and prompt decision making are mandatory to manage such cases.Levels of evidenceCase Report.

An Unusual Volar Wrist Mass: Radial Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Transradial Catheterization.

Project description:Arterial pseudoaneurysms can develop secondary to a vessel injury, for example, an arterial line installation. We present a case of an 18-year-old female with mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes syndrome who developed left radial artery and right brachial artery pseudoaneurysms secondary to arterial line placement and repeated blood draws, respectively. The ultrasonographic features of pulsating mass in connection with an artery and the yin-yang sign, combined with the patient's history, allowed accurate diagnosis. She was referred to vascular surgery for definitive treatment.

Percutaneous and open retrograde endovascular stenting of symptomatic high-grade innominate artery stenosis: technique and follow-up.

Project description:Background and purposeAngioplasty and stenting of the IA have been reported with high technical and clinical success rates, low complication rates and good mid-term patency rates. Different antegrade or retrograde endovascular catheter-based approaches and combinations with surgical exposure of the CCA are used. The purpose of this study was to determine safety, efficacy and mid-term clinical and radiological outcome of the stent-assisted treatment of atherosclerotic stenotic disease of the IA with special focus on the different technical approaches.Materials and methodsBetween 1996 and 2008, 18 patients (12 men, 6 women) with symptomatic high-grade stenosis (>80%) of the IA were treated with endovascular stent placement. Their mean age was 60.4 years (range, 48-78 years). Mean angiographic and clinical follow-up was 2.7 years (range, 0.3-9.1 years). Clinical follow-up was performed by using the mRS at hospital discharge, routine follow-up controls, and a questionnaire. In 11 patients, a percutaneous approach was used. In 7 patients, the lesions were accessed retrogradely through a cervical cut-down with common carotid arteriotomy. In 2 patients, a simultaneous ipsilateral carotid endarterectomy was performed.ResultsIn all patients, primary stent placement was performed. There were 2 procedure-related transient complications (11.1%) due to cerebral embolism without permanent morbidity or mortality. During the follow-up, all patients showed improvement of the preprocedural symptoms. At the latest clinical follow-up (mean, 2.7 years), all patients showed an excellent or good outcome (mRS, 0 or 1). In 2 patients (11.1%), a secondary stent placement was needed due to a significant symptomatic in-stent stenosis.ConclusionsPercutaneous and open retrograde stenting of high-grade stenosis of the IA is a viable less invasive alternatives to open bypass surgery with good midterm clinical results and patency rates.

Porphyromonas gingivalis accelerates inflammatory atherosclerosis in the innominate artery of ApoE deficient mice.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Studies in humans support a role for the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis in the development of inflammatory atherosclerosis. The goal of this study was to determine if P. gingivalis infection accelerates inflammation and atherosclerosis in the innominate artery of mice, an artery which has been reported to exhibit many features of human atherosclerotic disease, including plaque rupture. METHODS AND RESULTS:Apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE-/-) mice were orally infected with P. gingivalis, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to monitor the progression of atherosclerosis in live mice. P. gingivalis infected mice exhibited a statistically significant increase in atherosclerotic plaque in the innominate artery as compared to uninfected mice. Polarized light microscopy and immunohistochemistry revealed that the innominate arteries of infected mice had increased lipids, macrophages and T cells as compared to uninfected mice. Increases in plaque, total cholesterol esters and cholesterol monohydrate crystals, macrophages, and T cells were prevented by immunization with heat-killed P. gingivalis prior to pathogen exposure. CONCLUSIONS:These are the first studies to demonstrate progression of inflammatory plaque accumulation in the innominate arteries by in vivo MRI analysis following pathogen exposure, and to document protection from plaque progression in the innominate artery via immunization.

Genetic network identifies novel pathways contributing to atherosclerosis susceptibility in the innominate artery.

Project description:Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of cardiovascular disease, results from both genetic and environmental factors.In the current study we take a systems-based approach using weighted gene co-expression analysis to identify a candidate pathway of genes related to atherosclerosis. Bioinformatic analyses are performed to identify candidate genes and interactions and several novel genes are characterized using in-vitro studies.We identify 1 coexpression module associated with innominate artery atherosclerosis that is also enriched for inflammatory and macrophage gene signatures. Using a series of bioinformatics analysis, we further prioritize the genes in this pathway and identify Cd44 as a critical mediator of the atherosclerosis. We validate our predictions generated by the network analysis using Cd44 knockout mice.These results indicate that alterations in Cd44 expression mediate inflammation through a complex transcriptional network involving a number of previously uncharacterized genes.
