Successful surgical treatment of acute type A aortic dissection complicated with distal arch aneurysm.

چکیده
We report successful surgical treatment in a case of acute type A aortic dissection complicated with distal arch aneurysm. A 74-year-old man presenting with sudden posterior headache was found by enhanced computed tomography to have an ascending aortic dissection (type A) and a distal arch aneurysm of 69 mm in maximal minor axis diameter. We performed total arch replacement, employing a four-branched graft and elephant trunk anastomosis through a median sternotomy. Because the aneurysm was not effectively thrombo-excluded, we performed descending aorta replacement using the elephant trunk through the left fifth intercostal space on the 44th postoperative day. The postoperative course was uneventful.

متن کاملSuccessful Repair of Type a Aortic Dissection in a Term Pregnancy: A Case Report
Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a very rare complication, with potentially lethal consequences in pregnancy. In fact, pregnancy has been regularly associated with the possibility of aortic. dissection in almost half of young women. Herein, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman in her 37th week of pregnancy. The patient’s medical history was indicative of G4L2Ab1(4 gestaiti...

A 79-year-old man underwent bifurcated graft replacement for abdominal aortic aneurysm, but the graft was totally occluded owing to an acute type B aortic dissection. We could not have access to the root for performing endovascular stenting for dissecting aneurysm. Furthermore, it was difficult to remove the aneurysm via a left thoracotomy because it was impossible to perfuse the lower body wit...

A Stanford Type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening surgical emergency that requires emergent surgery. The mortality after repair is high especially if the aortic dissection is complicated by visceral or peripheral malperfusion. We describe a case of a male patient who presented with an aortic dissection involving the ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending thoracic aorta, and the abdomi...

Complex lesions of the thoracic aorta are traditionally treated in 2 surgical steps with the elephant trunk technique. A relatively new approach is the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique, which potentially allows combined lesions of the thoracic aorta to be treated in a 1-stage procedure combining endovascular treatment with conventional surgery using a hybrid prosthesis. These are very comp...
