Postpartum patient with thrombosis of mechanical prostheses and acquired supravalvular aortic stenosis.

چکیده
The blood hypercoagulability in pregnancy increases significantly the incidence of thrombosis of mechanical valves. Acquired supravalvular aortic stenosis is extremely rare. We report the case of an immediate postpartum patient with aortic mechanical prostheses and acquired supravalvular aortic stenosis who underwent emergency heart surgery, with severe hemodynamic instability, using adapted surgical technique for correction of supravalvular stenosis with satisfactory clinical and echocardiography results.

Acquired 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 کاملIntermittent, Non Cyclic Severe Mechanical Aortic Valve Regurgitation
Mechanical aortic prosthesis dysfunction can result from thrombosis or pannus formation. We describe an unusual case of intermittent, non cyclic mechanical aortic prosthesis dysfunction due to pannus formation with thrombus in the absence of systolic restriction of disk excursion, that presented with intermittent severe aortic regurgitation.

Background: Balloon valvuloplasty is a relatively new technique for relief of obstruction of aortic valve. The primary results of this procedure are similar to surgical valvotomy with fewer complications and mortality. Materials and methods: One hundred fifty-five patients with congenital aortic stenosis were enrolled in this study over a period of 6 years (1991-1997). Participants were all un...

Figure 1: Preoperative computed tomography showed hourglass type of supravalvular aortic stenosis and aneurysmal changes of the innominate and the left subclavian artery. When she underwent ventricular septal defect repair at the age of 4 months, transverse aortotomy was made for evaluating a bicuspid aortic valve. Probably the transverse aortotomy was closed by a continuous suture, which, by d...
متن کاملWhat's the Skinny on Elastin Deficiency and Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis?
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS), a localized narrowing of the aorta just distal to the aortic valve, has been encountered sporadically for over 130 years. In 1961, Williams reported 4 patients with SVAS who shared syndromic features, including short stature, mental retardation, peripheral pulmonary artery stenoses, and a characteristic facies. Beuren et al reported additional cases, and th...
