Chronic Abdominal Aortic Dissection with Large Aneurysm Unsuitable for Endovascular Treatment
A 70 year-old male sustained an AAD 8 years previously and was being monitored for an enlarging abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). A computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed an 8cm diameter AAA extending 9cm above the origin of the coeliac axis (CA). At the level of renal arteries (RAs) there was a dissection flap pressurising the false lumen. Both the RAs arose from the true lumen as did the supe...
متن کاملEndovascular Treatment of Isolated Chronic Abdominal Aortic Dissection.
Isolated acute abdominal aortic dissection is a relatively rare event. Its natural history is not fully understood and its optimal treatment is not established. Open surgery represents the most described treatment but endovascular intervention has had increasing application. Isolated chronic abdominal aortic dissection is even less described in the literature. We describe three patients with is...
متن کاملDrug Therapy for Small Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Dear Editor,Abdominal aortic aneurysm is often asymptomatic, less recognized, and causes considerable mortality and morbidity, if missed. The incidence varies from country to country and the occurrence is influenced by modifiable (smoking, coronary heart disease, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and prolonged steroid therapy) and non-modifiable risk factors (increasing age, male gender, and positive...
متن کاملEndovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
The early 1990s ushered in the era of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Diffusion of this technology, although widespread, has been met with enthusiasm by some and caution by others. Advocates of traditional open surgical techniques maintain that EVAR is costly and that long-term outcomes for patients are inferior. The objectives of the present review are to use a case scenario to highlight ...
متن کاملMidterm results with thoracic endovascular aortic repair for chronic type B aortic dissection with associated aneurysm.
OBJECTIVE Thoracic endovascular aortic repair for chronic type B aortic dissection with associated descending thoracic aneurysm remains controversial. Concerns include potential ischemic complications due to branch vessel origin from the chronic false lumen and continued retrograde false lumen/aneurysm sac pressurization via fenestrations distal to implanted endografts. The present study examin...
