Hemoptysis as a presenting symptom of a distal aortic arch aneurysm and its repair via an L-shaped thoracotomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 61-year-old man presented with multiple episodes of hemoptysis. A computed tomography scan revealed a 70-mm saccular aneurysm of the distal aortic arch. During a surgical repair via a midline sternotomy and a left thoracotomy, a saccular aneurysm was found to protrude into the lung, which had chronically healed. The patient underwent replacement of the Dacron graft, and he recovered well postoperatively. This experience prompted us to report the findings of this unique case.

A right-sided aortic arch with an aneurysm of the aberrant subclavian artery is a rare disease. We report a case of Kommerell's diverticulum of an aberrant left subclavian artery in a patient with a right-sided aortic arch. Fewer than 50 cases have been reported in the literature. A number of operative strategies are described. Right thoracotomy provides good exposure and avoids the morbidity a...

An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) arising from the proximal portion of the descending thoracic aorta is the most common congenital anomaly of the aortic arch. This irregularity occurs in 0.51% of the population. Degenerative aneurysmal changes may occur in the proximal portion of an ARSA or at its aortic origin. This abnormal vessel passes posterior to the esophagus, and, in rare cases...
متن کاملAortic replacement via median sternotomy with left anterolateral thoracotomy.
Prevention of cerebral injury is an important consideration during repair of aortic arch aneurysm, and the major goal of cerebral protection techniques. We describe our surgical strategy for treatment of extended thoracic aortic aneurysms. Between January 2001 and June 2008, 17 men and 6 women, with a mean age of 67.9 +/- 8.3 years, underwent total replacement of the arch and descending aorta. ...
متن کاملHemoptysis as a first symptom of endoleak after thoracic endovascular aortic repair, which caused aortic rupture and required complex management
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has become the most common procedure in the treatment of thoracic aorta aneurysms. However, potential long-term complications of this technique could be life-threatening. Hemoptysis is a common symptom of lung tumor, especially cancer. On the other hand, hemoptysis can also be caused by bronchitis, tuberculosis, mycosis, and trauma. In this case repor...

Introduction: Cardiovocal hoarseness (Ortner’s syndrome) is hoarseness of voice due to recurrent laryngeal nerve involvement secondary to cardiovascular disease. Recurrent laryngeal nerve in its course (especially the left side) follows a path that brings it in close proximity to numerous structures.
