Spontaneous rupture of the ascending aorta
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2018Nontraumatic, spontaneous rupture of the ascending aorta is rare and the etiology is largely unknown.We reviewed seven patients from our institution, with no known aortic disease or hereditary connective tissue disorder that presented with spontaneous ascending aortic rupture from 2012 to 2017.Most patients presented with non-radiating chest pain along

Atherosclerotic pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2003Pseudoaneurysms in the ascending aorta most commonly occur as a complication of surgical procedures at this site. They have also been reported in association with trauma, infection, aortitis, and other disorders. Pseudoaneurysm formation in the descending aorta or arch may occur as a result of penetrating ulcers in the presence of severe ...

The ascending aorta in aortic stenosis
Cardiovascular Radiology, 1979Dilatation of the ascending aorta, a frequently reported sign of aortic stenosis, was assessed in 47 patients for whom aortic angiograms has been recorded. Twenty-eight of the patients had rheumatic valvar disease and 19 had congenital aortic stenosis. A simple ratio between the maximal width of the mid-ascending aorta and the width of the aortic root ...

Inflammatory Aneurysm of the Ascending Aorta
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998The gold standard to clarify an acute pathology of the ascending aorta is transesophageal echocardiography or contrast-enhanced computed tomography. Neither of these methods led to the correct finding in our case of an inflammatory aneurysm of the ascending aorta. Both assessments resulted in the diagnosis of an acute dissection of the ascending aorta.

Bloodless Cannulation of the Ascending Aorta
Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 1998Bloodless cannulation of the aorta can be accomplished easily. A full thickness stab wound prior to insertion of the cannula is unnecessary as the aorta's inner layers have little strength.

A wandering stent in the ascending aorta
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2008A 15-year-old girl underwent patch aortoplasty for repair of a long-segment coarctation of the aorta 7 years ago. Balloon angioplasty had been performed twice, 3 and 5 years after the aortoplasty, because of recurrent coarctation of the aorta. She was scheduled for balloon angioplasty and stent implantation.
