EC ORTHOPAEDICS Case Report Porcelain Aorta and it ́s Rheumatological Significance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Porcelain aorta is a harbinger of widespread atherosclerotic process and its identification may be associated with higher cardiovascular and surgical mortality. Patients with porcelain aorta requiring cardiac surgery need specific alterations in approach to the surgery especially with regard to aortic cross – clamping. However, its association with systemic inflammatory bone and joint disease is an orthopedic concern. Detection of asymptomatic porcelain aorta in rheumatoid arthritis may have therapeutic concerns also.

متن کاملDealing with a Porcelain Aorta during Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
We report a complex case of multivessel CAD in a patient with a porcelain aorta and high-grade left subclavian artery stenosis. Utilizing a staged left subclavian artery stent placement with a next-day plan for a four-vessel, on-pump CABG and ascending aortic replacement, this case highlights an organized approach to diagnosing and dealing with a heavily calcified aorta while describing a stepw...
متن کاملSutureless Aortic Valve Implantation in Patient with Porcelain Aorta via Unclamped Aorta and Deep Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest
Severe atherosclerotic calcification of the ascending aorta, the so-called porcelain aorta, precludes cardiac surgeons from placing an aortic cross-clamp and direct aortic cannulation due to the increased risk of systemic embolism and stroke. In the present report, we support the option of sutureless valve implantation in a case of a porcelain ascending aorta, with deep hypothermic circulatory ...
متن کاملApicoaortic valved conduit is a good alternative for aortic stenosis with porcelain aorta after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting.
We report a case of aortic stenosis with porcelain aorta using an apicoaortic valved conduit after 'aortic no touch' off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting. Apicoaortic valved conduit is a good surgical option for this patient to avoid re-entry through the sternum, injury to patent graft and manipulation of the porcelain ascending aorta.
