Surgical repair of an extracranial carotid aneurysm Tratamento cirúrgico de aneurisma da artéria carótida extracraniana

Endovascular treatment of iatrogenic penetrating trauma of the carotid artery: case report Tratamento endovascular de trauma penetrante iatrogênico de artéria carótida: relato de caso

Carotid trauma demands early diagnosis and treatment. Open repair may be technically challenging if the trauma is at the base of the neck. We present a case of iatrogenic penetrating carotid trauma caused by insertion of a hemodialysis catheter. Treatment was accomplished by placement of a covered stent-graft in the common carotid artery, covering the puncture site. This case suggests that plac...

Thoracoabdominal aneurysm rupture: a modification of the visceral perfusion circuit

A patient with ruptured type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA), underwent surgical treatment utilizing visceral perfusion assisted by a centrifugal pump and neonatal membrane oxygenator. This circuit allows visceral perfusion with oxygenated blood during the ischemic period and the fast infusion of intravenous volume after clamp removal.

Left sinus Valsalva aneurysm into anterior wall of right ventricle

The case of a 33-year-old male suffering from left sinus Valsalva aneurysm into anterior right ventricle and severe aortic valve regurgitation is presented. Diagnosis of this association was achieved before surgery by cardiac catheterization and Echocardiography. The patient was submitted to surgical repair by closing the orifice of the aneurysm using a bovine pericardium patch. The aortic valv...

Cerebral retrograde perfusion alternating with carotid artery anterograde perfusion in the surgical treatment of acute dissection of ascending aorta dissection

The authors report an original case using cerebral retrograde perfusion alternating with carotid artery anterograde perfusion, during the surgical treatment of acute ascending aorta dissection. The patient was discharged on the 32nd post-operative day in a clinically controlled condition. The Mini Mental State Examination was applied after 30 days and showed normal cerebral cognitive activity. ...
