A surgical case for hemolytic anemia after ascending and total arch replacement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 61-year-old man presented with consistent hemolytic anemia 15 months after ascending and total arch replacement for DeBakey I type acute aortic dissection. The cause of hemolysis turned out to be mechanical damage of red blood cells at the inverted felt of the proximal anastomosis. Reoperation of resection of the felt and repair of the proximal anastomosis successfully resolved this problem. We report a rare case of hemolytic anemia at the site of inverted felt strip after total arch replacement.

Haemolytic anaemia due to stenosed double-reinforced grafts after surgical repaired aortic dissection.
Haemolytic anaemia due to a stenosed graft is a rare complication after surgery for aortic dissection. We present the case of a patient with haemolytic anaemia and heart failure, who had undergone emergent ascending aorta replacement for type A acute aortic dissection 5 years earlier. Chest computed tomography revealed severe graft stenosis of the proximal anastomosis and transthoracic echocard...
متن کاملHemolytic anemia caused by aortic flap and inversion of felt strip after ascending aorta replacement
BACKGROUNDS Hemolysis related to a kinked prosthetic graft or inner felt strip is a very rare complication after aortic surgery. We describe herein a case of hemolytic anemia that developed due to aortic flap of the dissection and inversion of an inner felt strip that was applied at the proximal anastomosis of a replaced ascending aorta 10 years previously. CASE PRESENTATION A 74-year-old wom...

BACKGROUND Hemolytic anemia caused by a kinked Dacron graft is a rare complication after repair of acute aortic dissection. We present a case of hemolytic anemia due to kinking of previously implanted Dacron graft for ascending aorta dissection treated by surgery and replaced with new Dacron. CASE DETAILS We report a case of postoperative hemolytic anemia with kinking of the graft at the oute...

BACKGROUND We analyzed the long-term results of ascending aortic replacement and arch aortic replacement in acute DeBakey type I aortic dissections to measure the differences in the distal aortic changes with extension of the aortic replacement. METHODS We reviewed 142 cases of acute DeBakey type I aortic dissections (1996-2015). Seventy percent of the cases were ascending aortic replacements...

We report a case of a 29-year-old Marfan patient who developed prosthetic graft infection 10 months after Bentall operation and successive replacement of the remaining ascending aorta and the entire aortic arch for acute aortic dissection. Instead of an aggressive high-risk aortic redo procedure with removal and replacement of the infected prosthetic graft we elected a staged graft-sparing surg...
