Ascending Thoracic Aorta: Postoperative Imaging Evaluation1
Advances in computed tomography (CT) scanners and electrocardiographic gating techniques have resulted in superior image quality of the ascending aorta and increased the use of CT angiography for evaluating the postoperative ascending aorta. Several abnormalities of the ascending aorta and aortic arch often require surgery, and various open techniques may be used to reconstruct the aorta, such ...
متن کاملEndovascular Repair of the Aortic Arch and Ascending Thoracic Aorta
Background The aortic arch is wide, compliant, and mobile. Its flow rate is high and its branches supply an organ, the brain, with no tolerance for ischemia. In this location, an endovascular stent graft is difficult to deliver, difficult to secure, and prone to fatigue fracture, graft erosion, or migration. The only advantage is the opportunity for downstream access to vital arterial branches,...
متن کاملNeonatal ascending aorta thrombosis: A case report
Thrombotic events are very unusual in neonatal period. This congenital anomaly may be caused by certain risk factors such as polycythemia, perinatal asphyxia, septicemia, maternal diabetes, dehydration, and low cardiac output, or it may occur upon catheterization of central lines. A 20-day-old neonate was referred to our ward with primary signs of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP). Echocardiog...
متن کاملintraluminal ascending aorta fibroma
primary cardiac tumors are quite rare, especially in the pediatric age group, and their atypical presentations often prevent a timely diagnosis. most primary cardiac tumors in the pediatric age group are benign. fibromas are generally reported as the second most common primary cardiac tumors in the pediatric age group. these neoplasms are often intramural and involve the left ventricular free w...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging of the thoracic aorta.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is steadily becoming recognized as a premier imaging modality for evaluating the thoracic aorta. Its noninvasive, nonimaging approach and refined resolution capabilities effectively combine the advantages of echocardiography, angiography, and computed tomography (CT) under the auspices of a single imaging device. On static spin-echo MRI, blood flow appears dark,...
