AneurysmAortaAortic valve replacementCoarctationComputed tomography angiographyWe report the case of a man who developed severe regurgitation and complete heart block secondary to coarctation of the aorta and mixed aortic valve disease. Despite surgery to treat this condition he developed a dissecting ...
Detection was considered to be incidental if there was no mention of aortic aneurysm or dilation in the patient’s chart before the CT scan and if the indication for the scan was unrelated to aorta. Results The study included 261 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The median patient ...
Dissecting aneurysm of the aorta, more recently known as aortic distio is a highly lethal COflditiofl. 1 With the availability improved diagnostic modalities, medical and surgical therapy since 1960, the survical has improved significantly.23.聽 Hc was started on antihypertensive trcat ment to ...
Aneurysm of the ascending aorta being prepared for surgical resection. Diameter of the aneurysm of 5.5 mm. Patient with bicuspid aortic valve. Risk of rupture or dissection. 2- Resected aneurysm. P...
We present a comprehensive and original framework for the biomechanical analysis of patients affected by ascending thoracic aorta aneurysm and aortic insufficiency. Our aim is to obtain crucial indications about the role played by deranged hemodynamics on the ATAAs risk of rupture. Computational fluid ...
A Demonstration of a Case of Aneurysm of the Ascending Aorta, with Comments: (Given at the London Medical Graduates' College and Polyclinic.). THE case was brought before the College as illustrating the class of "aneurysm of physical signs." The ascending aorta and the first part of the ...
An aneurysm of the ascending aorta encountered during an aortic valve operation may be of limited size. It is tempting under these conditions to use a less radical operation than graft replacement, such as reduction aortoplasty, especially in high-risk elderly patients in whom a decreased aortic ...
Aortoplasty has been advocated for moderate dilatation of the ascending aorta associated with aortic valve disease. We report our results with this conservative approach.Seventeen consecutive patients with unsupported aortoplasty were reviewed. Twelve patients had aortic valve regurgitation and 5 had stenosi...
A case of aortic aneurysm probably caused by congenital syphilis is presented. Diagnosis is based on clinical grounds. Problems concerning identification and incidence are reviewed.doi:10.1016/0002-8703(58)90244-8Hallard W. BeardRobert G. Thompson...
Apparatus and methods are provided for use in filtering emboli from a vessel such as the ascending aorta, wherein a vascular device comprises a support hoop having an articulation region connected near a distal end of an elongated member, a blood permeable sac affixed to the support hoop so th...
