Treatment of aortic dissecting aneurysm involving visceral arteries with multi-layer bare stents

Fenestrated stent graft in treatment of type IV thoracoabdominal aneurysm involving all visceral arteries

Conventional open surgical repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) is associated with high perioperative mortality and morbidity risk. Our report of successful treatment of a 56-year-old patient with TAAA involving all visceral arteries and with many comorbidities with a fenestrated stent graft supports its application in high-risk TAAA patients.

Visceral Debranching Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair for Chronic Dissecting Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Type II chronic dissecting thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms are a surgically challenging disease. The conventional thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair technique using cardiopulmonary bypass is a high-risk procedure. However, a recently developed endovascular technique may be an alternative treatment for the disease, but faces the obstacle of lesional restriction. This new technique uses a ...

Dissecting aortic aneurysm with Marfan syndrome.

Examination revealed an asthenic built child with height of 162 cm, arm span 174 cm, arm span-toheight ratio 1.074 and US:LS ratio 0.82. He had high arched palate, arachnodactly, positive wrist and thumb signs. There were signs of consolidation over left base. Cardiovascular system examination revealed a short diastolic murmur in aortic space. Skiagram revealed a massive consolidation of left l...
