Management of a case of double aortic arch with tracheal compression complicated with postoperative tracheal restenosis.

ABSTRACT: Tracheal stenosis in association with the double aortic arch (DAA) is uncommon; however, it carries a high risk of morbidity, mortality, and restenosis. Although surgery is the mainstay of managing a case of the DAA with tracheal stenosis, management of tracheal restenosis requires a multidisciplinary approach. In this case report, we present our successful experience in managing a child of DAA with tracheal stenosis who developed tracheal restenosis after sliding tracheoplasty of trachea.

Double vascular ring: a case report of double aortic arch and concurrent pulmonary artery sling.

Project description:Double aortic arch (DAA) and pulmonary artery sling (PAS) are vascular ring formations that present in neonates and infants with symptoms of respiratory stenosis. The patient was a girl with suspected ventricular septal defect (VSD), right aortic arch (AA), left patent ductus arteriosus, and bilateral superior vena cava (SVC) on foetal echography in the first day of life. The girl was delivered at 40 weeks and 4 days of gestation. Ventricular septal defect, DAA, coarctation of the left AA, and bilateral SVC were diagnosed. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography at Day 16 revealed PAS with concurrent anomalous tracheal branching in addition to DAA. The right A2 segmental artery, which supplies the right upper pulmonary artery, showed abnormal branching from the left pulmonary artery (LPA). At 3 months of age, VSD patching, left AA resection distal to the root of the left subclavian artery, arterial ligament dissection, and LPA replacement were performed. Pulmonary artery sling coexists with anomalous branching of the trachea and abnormal branching of the right pulmonary artery (RPA). Our patient had an extremely rare case of DAA concurrent with PAS and presented with anomalous tracheal and RPA branching. We were concerned that increased pulmonary blood flow caused by the VSD would exacerbate tracheal displacement. Radical surgery at 3 months of age resulted in good postoperative progress.

Successful interventional management of postoperative hemorrhage in total arch replacement of type A aortic dissection.

Project description:We reported a 48-year-old male patient with postoperative hemorrhage. Given his frailty, emergent interventional procedures were successfully performed and the end of the left subclavian artery was embolized by four coils. Our report provided a new therapeutic approach regarding the frail patients presenting postoperative hemorrhage.

Esophageal cancer with a double aortic arch: a case report and literature review.

Project description:BackgroundDouble aortic arch (DAA) is an extremely rare vascular malformation, even more so when coexisting with esophageal cancer.MethodsWe report a new case of DAA with esophageal cancer recently seen at our Thoracic Tumor Clinic and review cases of DAA coexisting with esophageal cancer reported in the literature of English language from 2010 to 2020. The purposes of our literature review were to explore how to best achieve radical esophagectomy while reducing postoperative complications. The clinical manifestations, diagnostic method, surgical approach, reconstruction route, and the extent of lymphadenectomy of esophageal cancer with DAA were analyzed in detail.Results and conclusionFor such patients, 3D computed tomography is necessary for preoperative diagnosis. The surgical approach should consider factors such as the location of the tumor in the esophagus and whether the tumor is surrounded by DAA, as well as the position of the descending aorta and the requirements for the surgical field for lymphadenectomy. If esophageal reconstruction is required, the retrosternal route is preferred. We recommend that only patients with positive results of intraoperative frozen biopsy of recurrent laryngeal nerve lymph nodes should undergo three-field lymphadenectomy, which may be the best method to achieve radical esophagectomy for middle and lower esophageal cancers with DAA while minimizing postoperative complications.

Aortic arch thrombosis complicated by an embolic stroke in a patient with COVID-19: A case report.

Project description:IntroductionAortic thrombosis is an uncommon condition with serious embolic complications. COVID-19 is currently recognized to be associated with both venous and arterial thrombosis. However, only a limited number of COVID-19 cases associated with aortic thrombosis have been reported in the literature since the beginning of the pandemic.Case presentationA 66-year-old lady was admitted to our hospital with acute ischemic stroke. Floating aortic arch thrombus was detected incidentally on CT imaging. Interestingly, the patient reported a history of fever and cough and was found to have COVID-19 pneumonia based on nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and imaging. The patient received three months of anticoagulant therapy, and repeated imaging study did not reveal any aortic thrombus.Clinical discussionCOVID-19 related aortic thrombosis has been reported chiefly in severe cases. The SARS-CoV-2 can directly infect the endothelium of the vessels, which might explain the occurrence of arterial thrombosis in milder COVID-19 cases with the absence of the hyperinflammatory state. The management guideline for aortic thrombosis is scarce and based only on case reports and series.ConclusionAortic thrombosis is a devastating condition that can be easily missed without clinical suspicion. Our patient developed acute ischemic stroke, most likely embolic originating from the aortic thrombus. The clinician should consider this condition in any COVID-19 patient presenting with thromboembolic events, such as stroke or acute limb ischemia. Further study is required to explain the pathophysiology of arterial/venous thrombosis in mild-moderate COVID-19 cases.

Aortic Arch Floating Thrombus Complicated by Distal Embolization in a Patient with Malignancy.

Project description:Free floating thrombus of aortic arch in a minimally atherosclerotic or nonaneurysmal aorta is a rare disease entity which carries a potential risk of distal embolization with catastrophic consequences. We present the case of a 52-years-old patient with ovarian cancer and aortic arch floating thrombus who initially managed with low molecular weight heparin and eventually undergone surgical thrombectomy of left external iliac and common femoral artery due to acute ischemia of left lower leg.

Surgical repair of a pseudocoarctation with cervical aortic arch complicated by multiple aneurysms of the aorta: a case report.

Project description:Aortic pseudocoarctation is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by elongation and deformity of the aortic arch and is known to be associated with aneurysmal formation. Several studies unite to say it leads to a surgical sanction as soon as symptomatic or associated with aneurysms of the aortic arch. Our patient is a 12 years old boy, followed since birth for a little tight pseudocoarctation with a cervical aortic arch and transverse aortic arch hypoplasia. Close clinical and paraclinical monitoring including angioscans, showed the gradual enlargement of the superior mediastinum, in relation with the appearance of three aneurysms of the aortic arch. The intervention, performed by sternotomy, has consisted of the resection of the aneurysmal area and the interposition of a Dacron tube to repair the aortic arch and the reimplantation of the left subclavian artery into the left carotid artery. The postoperative course was uneventful. Management of pseudocoarctation associated with cervical aortic arch and aneurysms remains surgical. Close monitoring of patients with pseudocorctation, seems to be essential to avoid fatal complications such as aneurysmal rupture.
