Aortic dissection and aortic aneurysm surgery

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1994
During the last year, the role of noninvasive studies for aortic dissection--magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography scanning, and transesophageal echocardiography--has become better defined. Both magnetic resonance imaging and transesophageal echocardiography are highly accurate in detecting aortic dissection.

Aortic Dilatation with Bicuspid Aortic Valve

New England Journal of Medicine, 2014
To the Editor: In their review on thoracic aortic dilatation associated with bicuspid aortic valve, Verma and Siu (May 15 issue)1 do not mention the increased prevalence of bicuspid aortic valve and its strong association with aortic dilatation and dissection in women with Turner's syndrome.2 This sex-chromosome disorder, which is caused by the loss of

Aortic valve and/or aortic root replacement using an aortic homograft

Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2009
Aortic valve replacement using the homograft valve has a special place in the cardiac surgical practice although it has never been widely used, in part due to the lack of tissue donors but also due to the perceived difficulty of the procedure compared with aortic valve replacement using prosthetic devices and concerns regarding homograft valve failure.

A Larger Aortic Annulus Causes Aortic Regurgitation and a Smaller Aortic Annulus Causes Aortic Stenosis in Bicuspid Aortic Valve

Echocardiography, 2007
A bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) often causes aortic stenosis (AS) or regurgitation (AR). In 54 patients with a BAV (48 ± 16 years), transthoracic and transesophageal echo were performed to measure aortic annulus diameter (AAD), to evaluate the severity of aortic valve disease (AVD) and to calculate the area eccentricity index (AEI) of a BAV defined as a

Aortic Dissection With Severe Aortic Regurgitation

Circulation, 2016
A 40-year-old woman had left meningioma with right-sided weakness after tumor resection 3 months previously. She had no history of hypertension. At this time, she was admitted for recurrent tumor and received local radiotherapy. After admission, her blood pressure was in the normal range.

Infected Aortic Grafts and Aortic Fistulas

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1976
Infection in prosthetic grafts of the aorta and in the groin present different problems. Retroperitoneal sepsis must be treated by total removal of the graft. This is probably equally true for acutely infected grafts seen in enteric fistula. The surgical technique described can be performed in one stage. The principles of treatment for groin infections

Aortic valve resuspension in ascending aortic aneurysm repair with aortic insufficiency

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995
The known complications of prosthetic valve replacement in patients with an ascending aortic aneurysm and secondary aortic regurgitation who frequently have a morphologically normal aortic valve have prompted interest in valve-sparing aneurysm repair procedures. The aim of this study was to define the echocardiographic criteria for identifying suitable

Aortic Thrombosis and Aortic Medionecrosis in an Infant

Acta Paediatrica, 1961
SummaryIn the literature 24 cases of aortic thrombosis in children have been described of which 11 patients have been less than 3 weeks old. A case is described with a large thrombus in the abdominal aorta of a 16 day old boy. Thrombi were also discovered in the ductus arteriosus, the umbilical artery, the left ventricle and the left auricle ...

Double Aortic Arch With Ascending Aortic Aneurysm and Aortic Valve Regurgitation

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2014
Double aortic arch is a rare congenital great vessel anomaly. We report a 21-year-old man who was diagnosed with a double aortic arch combining with ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve regurgitation. Computerized tomographic angiography and echocardiogram confirmed the diagnosis before operation. The patient underwent aortic root replacement and

Aortic valve-sparing operations for aortic root and ascending aortic aneurysms

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2007
Techniques of aortic root replacement have been developed that preserve the native aortic valve. These techniques avoid anticoagulation in patients who would otherwise receive a composite valve graft with a mechanical valve.Longer-term data on the longevity of the main two techniques of aortic valve-sparing operations, the root remodeling and the valve
