Persistent fifth aortic arch associated with aortic coarctation: a case of surgical correction without artificial material.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Persistent fifth aortic arch (PFAA) is a rare anomaly often associated with aortic coarctation or interruption, and various surgical techniques for this anomaly have been reported. Herein, we show a case of an infant with PFAA and severe aortic coarctation.

Case presentation

A 41-day-old female infant was admitted for sustained fever. Initially, the patient was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis, and echocardiography showed PFAA with severe aortic coarctation. Because the patient presented progressive oliguria and metabolic acidosis, she was transferred for emergency cardiac surgical intervention. The aortic arch was reconstructed using end-to-side anastomosis between the fifth aortic arch and the descending aorta without any artificial conduit or patching material.

Conclusions

PFAA with aortic coarctation can be repaired by various surgical methods. Among them, our surgical approach is easy and effective, has growth potential, and an additional surgery is not needed.

Surgical repair of persistent fifth aortic arch coarctation and interrupted fourth aortic arch without cardiopulmonary bypass: a case report.

Project description:Persistent fifth aortic arch (PFAA) is a rare congenital cardiovascular anomaly of the aortic arch, which can occur independently but is frequently associated with other cardiovascular malformations including patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), interrupted aortic arch (IAA), pulmonary atresia, tetralogy of Fallot, and transposition of the great vessels. PFAA can be classified into three different types according to different abnormal vascular connections (type A, B and C). We report an infant diagnosed with PFAA along with interrupted fourth aortic arch (type B) and PDA. Several surgical methods have been delivered to patients diagnosed with PFAA. In our case, the correction of coarctation PFAA and the ligation of PDA were performed without cardiopulmonary bypass through left lateral thoracotomy. We removed the coarctation part of the PFAA, and then performed the end-to-end anastomosis between the fifth aortic arch and the descending aorta. Despite the stenosis at the site of anastomosis was observed 10 months after the operation, the patient resulted in good recovery by once balloon dilation procedure. Thus, we recommend it is more appropriable to select this procedure in the surgical treatment of PFAA for those patients whose fourth aortic arches were interrupted with fifth aortic arches well developed. Our experience can provide a beneficial reference for future cases.

Technical considerations of coarctation stenting in double-barreled aorta - A persistent fifth arch mimic.

Project description:The double-barreled aorta connecting the ascending aorta and descending aorta caudal to the normal fourth aortic arch has fascinated the interests of cardiac morphologists for over a century. This condition is commonly associated with coarctation. While the controversies surrounding the embryology of the double-barreled aorta have settled down, we present a case-based illustration of the technical aspects of coarctation stenting peculiar to this condition.

A case report: stent implantation to treat coarctation of persistent 5th aortic arch associated with interrupted 4th aortic arch.

Project description:Persistent 5th aortic arch is a rare cardiac anomaly that is usually surgically corrected during infancy or early childhood if it is associated with coarctation of the aorta. Here, we report an adult with coarctation of the 5th aortic arch who was successfully treated by stent implantation. An asymptomatic 32-year-old woman presented with hypertension and a significant arm-leg difference in pressure. On suspicion of coarctation of the aorta, a chest computed tomography was performed, leading to a diagnosis of an interrupted 4th aortic arch with coarctation of a persistent 5th aortic arch. Percutaneous catheter intervention using a PALMAZ large stent dilated to 12 mm resulted in a minimal peak-to-peak pressure gradient. The patient was discharged home after a 2-day monitoring without hypertension and arm-leg blood pressure difference. She remained normotensive with a patent aortic arch on echocardiography performed 10 months after treatment. As for simple coarctation of the aorta, stent implantation was feasible and effective in an adult patient with coarctation of the 5th aortic arch.

Pitfalls of stenting coarctation of an angulated right circumflex aortic arch in Goldenhar syndrome.

Project description:We report stenting of coarctation of an angulated right circumflex aortic arch (RCAA) using four Cheatham Platinum stents in a child with Goldenhar syndrome. Difficulties in measuring the accurate length of the curved and narrowed transverse aortic arch marked discrepancy between the luminal diameters of the long narrow transverse arch and wide descending thoracic aorta, increased displacement force caused by the 90° bend between the two parts resulted in repeated stent migrations. We discuss the tips to avoid distal stent migration in the setting of an angulated RCAA.

Consistency of the continuous flow pressure gradient despite aortic arch anomalies co-existing with coarctation.

Project description:AimsSeverity assessment for coarctation of the aorta (CoA) is challenging due to concomitant morphological anomalies (complex CoA) and inaccurate Doppler-based indices. Promising diagnostic performance has been reported for the continuous flow pressure gradient (CFPG), but it has not been studied in complex CoA. Our objective was to characterize the effect of complex CoA and associated hemodynamics on CFPG in a clinical cohort.Methods and resultsRetrospective analysis identified discrete juxtaductal (n=25) and complex CoA (n=43; transverse arch and/or isthmus hypoplasia) patients with arm-leg systolic blood pressure gradients (BPG) within 24 hours of echocardiography for comparison to BPG by conventional Doppler indices (simplified Bernoulli equation and modified forms correcting for proximal kinetic energy and/or recovered pressure). Results were interpreted using the current CoA guideline (BPG ≥20 mmHg) to compare diagnostic performance indicators including receiver operating characteristic curves, sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy, among others. Echocardiography Z-scored aortic diameters were applied with computational stimulations from a preclinical CoA model to understand aspects of the CFPG driving performance differences.Diagnostic performance was substantially reduced from discrete to complex CoA for conventional Doppler indices calculated from patient data, and by hypoplasia and/or long segment stenosis in simulations. In contrast, diagnostic indicators for the CFPG only modestly dropped for complex vs discrete CoA. Simulations revealed differences in performance due to inclusion of the Doppler velocity index and diastolic pressure half-time in the CFPG calculation.ConclusionCFPG is less affected by aortic arch anomalies co-existing with CoA when compared to conventional Doppler indices.

Simultaneous surgical treatment of aortic coarctation and aortic root disease: a report of case series.

Project description:BackgroundAortic coarctation (CoA) is a common congenital aortic disease, which is often accompanied by aortic root disease. This study aimed to explore the simultaneous surgical treatment of aortic root replacement and ascending-abdominal aortic bypass grafting for patients with CoA and aortic root disease.Case descriptionFrom June 2014 to December 2019, nine patients with CoA and aortic root disease underwent simultaneous surgical treatment involving ascending-abdominal aortic bypass grafting and aortic root replacement (Bentall operation in eight patients and Wheat's operation in one patient). The degree of constriction, cardiopulmonary bypass time, ascending aorta occlusion time, operation time, artificial vessel diameter, ventilator support time and blood loss were recorded and analyzed. The blood pressure data of the limbs were measured pre- and postoperatively. All patients were followed up for 24±7 months. The mean extracorporeal circulation time was 130±17 minutes. The mean duration of the aortic clamp occlusion was 85±14 minutes. The mean operation time was 6.2±1.9 hours. The mean blood loss during and after surgery was 1,958±849 mL. The mean ventilator support time after operation was 20.3±11.6 hours. There were no operative mortalities. The arterial pressure gradient in the upper and lower limbs significantly improved. Postoperative computer-enhanced transvenous angiograms showed that the grafts were open with fluent flow. None of the patients experienced gastrointestinal complications, and no adverse events were observed during the follow-up.ConclusionsSimultaneous surgical treatment with ascending-to-abdominal aorta bypass grafting and aortic root replacement is feasible for patients with CoA and aortic root disease.

Troponin T Mutation as a Cause of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in a Young Patient with Previous Surgical Correction of Aortic Coarctation.

Project description:Coarctation of the aorta is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD). Lifelong surveillance is mandatory to screen for possible long-term cardiovascular events. Left ventricular systolic dysfunction has been reported in association with recoarctation, and association with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) is very rare. Herein, we report the case of a 19-year-old boy with coarctation of the aorta who complained of mild exertional dyspnea. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed a moderately dilated, hypokinetic left ventricle (LV), with mildly reduced EF (45%), and residual isthmic coarctation was excluded. Genetic tests revealed a heterozygous missense variant in TNNT2 (NM_001001430.2): c.518G>A (p. Arg173Gln). This case highlights the role of careful history taking: a family history of cardiomyopathy should not be overlooked even when the clinical setting seems to suggest a predisposition to hemodynamic factors for LVSD.
