Endovascular Treatment of Late Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms after Surgical Repair of Congenital Aortic Coarctation in Childhood
BACKGROUND In some patients, local surgery-related complications are diagnosed many years after surgery for aortic coarctation. The purposes of this study were: (1) to systematically evaluate asymptomatic adults after Dacron patch repair in childhood, (2) to estimate the formation rate of secondary thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) and (3) to assess outcomes after intravascular treatment for TAA...
متن کاملLate Complications Following Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Abdominal aortic aneurysm affects 5-10 % of men and 1,3% of women (Cosworth & Leng, 2007). Current treatment of aortic aneurysm is going through rapid changes. The first successful open repair with a homograft was performed in 1951 (Dubost et al. 1952). Initially, the aneurysm wall was completely removed which could lead to major complications. Creech modified the technique and combined repair ...
متن کاملAortic valve and aortic arch pathology after coarctation repair.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the incidence of clinical problems related to a bicuspid valve (aortic stenosis and regurgitation) and the incidence of ascending aorta and aortic arch pathology in combination with coarctation repair. PATIENTS 124 adult patients after surgical correction of aortic coarctation were studied. The incidence of aortic valve, ascending aorta, and aortic arch pathology was ...
متن کاملThoracic aortic aneurysm: a late complication of coarctation repair
A 67-year-old female patient had a patch repair of an aortic coarctation in 1972 and a mechanical aortic valve replacement in 2002 for a bicuspid valve. It was noted at the time of the repair that the aorta was ectatic and regular follow-up was suggested. She was followed up with yearly echocardiograms. It was noted that the diameter of descending aorta had increased to from 4.5 cm in 2013 to 5...
متن کاملEndovascular repair of a late pseudoaneurysm after an extra-anatomic bypass for aortic coarctation.
Figures 1 and 2 describe the management of a 47-year old patient presenting with a chronic false aneurysm after an extra-anatomic bypass placed for aortic coarctation during childhood. The condition was treated with two covered stents of decreased diameters and an hourglass-shaped plug. Post-procedure and control imaging at 1 year showed no complications. Figure 1: Preoperative findings. (A) Th...
