Involution of aneurysmal collateral arteries after correction of aortic coarctation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 47 year-old man with aortic coarctation had undergone extra-anatomic bypass through a left thoracotomy. He presented 10 years later with uncontrolled arterial hypertension due to residual aortic coarctation, graft obstruction and multiple collateral artery aneurysms between the subclavian artery and the aorta. He underwent extra-anatomic correction between the ascending aorta to descending aorta through a median sternotomy with the aid of conventional cardiopulmonary bypass. His postoperative recovery was unremarkable, and there was complete involution of all aneurysmal collateral arteries after the operation.

Predictors of aneurysmal formation after surgical correction of aortic coarctation.
OBJECTIVES We sought to identify the predictors of aneurysmal formation after surgical correction of aortic coarctation. BACKGROUND In 9% of patients, aneurysms develop late after corrective surgery of coarctation of the aorta, with a 36% mortality rate if left untreated. However, the predictors of postsurgical aneurysmal formation are unknown. METHODS Of 25 aortic aneurysms requiring corre...
متن کاملAcquired Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Coarctation: Treatment with Percutaneous Self Expandable Stent
Abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. Its etiology can be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. She had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. Magnetic reso...
متن کاملAsymptomatic Anomalous Collateral Artery Derived from the Left Internal Thoracic Artery: Established Strong Collateral Circulation
An anomalous collateral artery was found during the dissection for the pectoralis major myocutaneous flap procedure. This anomalous collateral artery was stemming from the left internal thoracic artery. It is believed that this collateral was formed secondary to congenital aortic coarctation causing abnormal growth of the left fourth aortic arch. This is the first reported case of such a collat...
متن کاملInternal mammary artery dilatation in a patient with aortic coarctation, aortic stenosis, and coronary disease. Case report
The ideal surgical approach is unclear in adult patients with coarctation of the aorta that is associated with other cardiovascular pathologies that require intervention. Standard median sternotomy allows simultaneous, coronary revascularization surgery, valve replacement and repair of aortic coarctation. However the collateral circulation and the anatomy of the mammary arteries must be determi...
متن کاملFigure-eight kinking of the aorta (pseudocoarctation) coexistent with coarctation.
An asymptomatic young man presented with a cardiac murmur and hypertension only in the right arm. Angiograms showed kinking of the aortic arch with a figure-eight appearance consistent with pseudocoarctation. Before the kinked segment, also demonstrated were a stenotic lesion in the aortic arch proximal to the left carotid artery and profound collateral circulations in the right thorax. These f...
