Aortic Arch Aneurysms

2019
Aortic arch aneurysms present a special challenge to the cardiovascular surgeon because of the complicated anatomy of the aortic arch and critical need to protect the brain from ischemic and embolic injury during aortic arch aneurysm repair. Over the past 30 years, advances in operative technique and neuroprotective strategies have made routine repair ...

Stapling of an aortic arch aneurysm

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2001
Saccular aneurysms of the aortic arch are usually managed with patch graft aortoplasty or with tube graft replacement. In either case, hypothermic circulatory arrest is necessary. The use of stapling devices has revolutionized pulmonary and gastrointestinal surgery; however, these instruments have rarely been used in aortic surgery except during ...

Total Arch Replacement for a Distal Aortic Arch Aneurysm With Right Aortic Arch

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2007
Right-sided aortic arch accompanied by an aberrant origin of the left subclavian artery is rare and seen in 0.05% approximately 0.1% of the population. A 73-year-old woman with this anomaly was admitted to our institution because of the enlargement of the distal aortic arch aneurysm. She also had mild dysphagia.

Fistulized mycotic aneurysm of the aortic arch

Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2002
DISCUSSION The case of an unusual manifestation of a mycotic aneurysm of the ascending aorta and arch is presented. The first clinical signs with which the patient presented were dyspnea, chills, and fever. The aneurysm of the arch eroded into the trachea.

Cervical Aortic Arch With Aneurysm Formation

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1997
Two pediatric cases of cervical aortic arch with aneurysm formation are reported. Only female patients with cervical aortic arch have developed aneurysms, which may influence risk counseling of such patients.

Surgical Treatment of Aneurysms of the Aortic Arch

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1981
A new approach to the challenge of surgical treatment of aneurysms of the aortic arch is described. Former techniques have been dependent on separate cannulation of the cerebral arteries, but induction of deep total body hypothermia to 15 degrees C and circulatory arrest is considered to give sufficient time for resection of the aneurysms and ...

The Cervical Aortic Arch with Aneurysm Formation

Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography, 1999
An asymptomatic 59-year-old man was admitted with an initial suspicion of mediastinal tumor. He was diagnosed as having a left-sided cervical aortic arch (Haughton type D) with arch aneurysm by using contrast-enhanced CT and angiography. The arch aneurysm was surgically removed.

Hybrid Repair of Aortic Arch Aneurysm

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2012
Hybrid repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm has been used with increasing frequency over the past decade, as indications for endovascular therapy have continued to expand. Hybrid techniques may avoid and limit the morbidity and mortality associated with sternotomy or thoracotomy, mechanical circulatory support, and hypothermic arrest. We present the case

Hybrid Repair of Aortic Arch Aneurysm

Acta Chirurgica Belgica, 2007
Conventional surgical repair of the aortic arch using cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest still carries a substantial rate of mortality and morbidity especially myocardial injury, and predicts a high incidence of permanent neurological injury.
