Intraoperative Epiaortic Ultrasound for Traumatic Pseudoaneurysm of the Ascending Aorta.
Epiaortic ultrasound is an imaging modality that is commonly used to evaluate the ascending aorta for atheroma and other mural lesions during elective cardiac surgery. Its use in contained aortic rupture has not been established. We present a case of thoracic trauma with contained pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta. At operation, the precise location of the aortic tear could not be identifie...
متن کاملPseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta.
A 69-year old man underwent ascending aorta grafting and aortic valve replacement for an acute aortic dissection. Nine months later, he suffered from painful ecchymosis and swelling of the sternal wound (Fig. 1). Computed tomography revealed a huge pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta (Fig. 2). Reoperation was successfully performed to repair the anasto-motic suture line tears. Figure 1: Promi...

متن کاملEpiaortic Ultrasound Assessment of the Thoracic Aorta in Cardiac Surgery
A considerable burden of cerebral embolism in association with cardiac surgery reflects dislodgement of aortic atheroma caused by manipulating the aorta during a surgical procedure (Barbut and Gold 1996; Van Zaane, Zuithoff et al. 2008; Whitley and Glas 2008; Yamaguchi, Adachi et al. 2009). It clearly makes logical sense to identify and attempt to avoid dislodgement of aortic atheroma. This str...
متن کاملSurgery for pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta under moderate hypothermia
Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is a rare complication after cardiac surgery. Particularly, pseudoaneurysm due to postoperative infection in the ascending aorta requires surgical treatment with antibiotics. If a large sized pseudoaneurysm is located at the retrosternal space, then there is a very high risk of massive bleeding from rupture during performance of resternotomy. To avoid this ...
