Assessment of interrupted aortic arch with magnetic resonance angiography.
A 22-year-old man was referred to our cardiology department for investigation of hypertension. At presentation his blood pressure was 170/100 mmHg in both arms, and heart rate was 74 beats/min. The pulses were equal over both upper extremities, but bilateral femoral and popliteal pulses were extremely weak and the dorsalis pedis and anterior tibial pulses were not palpable. His past history was...
متن کاملAortic Arch Thrombosis Mimicking Interrupted Aortic Arch
We report a case of a 32-week-gestation male who presented initially with symptoms suggestive of an interrupted aortic arch. The absence of a VSD prompted further investigations, including a CT angiogram, which revealed that he had an extensive thrombus in his aorta. He underwent a successful aortic thrombectomy with arch repair on cardiopulmonary bypass support. In view of the extensive thromb...

In type B interrupted aortic arch, the most common form of the condition, the separation is produced between the left carotid and subclavian arteries and is associated with an interventricular communication. The descending aorta is supplied by the pul...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance angiography of an aortic dissection.
A 51-year-old man with hypertension had previously been admitted to our cardiothoracic unit with a type A aortic dissection (Stanford classification) and had undergone emergency surgery with partial replacement of the ascending aorta. Routine follow-up magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) 19 months after the operation revealed an aneurysm at the incision site in the ascending aorta and extensio...
متن کاملDiagnosis of congenital obstructive aortic arch anomalies in Chinese children by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography for the diagnosis of congenital obstructive aortic arch anomalies in children and compare it with transthoracic echocardiography and other MR imaging techniques (ECG gated T1-weighted spin-echo imaging and gradient-echo cine imaging). MATERIALS AND METHODS Contrast-enhanced mag...
