Infected aneurysm of the aortic arch is rare and can be fatal without surgery. We report our surgical experience with infected aneurysms of the aortic arch. We conducted a retrospective chart review. Between 1995 and 2006, 10 patients with infected aneurysms of the aortic arch were treated at ...
Treatment for an aneurysm depends on its size and location. If the aneurysm is small(less than 4.0 cm [1.6 in] in diameter) and you have no symptoms, your physician may advise a "watch-and-wait" approach with regularly scheduled examinations and imaging studies. Medications to lower high ch...
Aortic Arch– Once the aneurysm is over 5.5cm, surgery should be considered; the affected aorta is replaced with a multi-limbed graft, allowing for the branching of the great vessels (such procedures have a high risk of cerebral ischaemia from embolisation) ...

Aortic arch aneurysm is a relatively rare entity in cardiac surgery. Repair of such aneurysms, either in isolation or combined with other cardiac procedures, remains a challenging task. The need to produce a relatively bloodless surgical field with circulatory arrest, while at the same time protecti...
