Echocardiographic oscillating flap in aortic root dissecting aneurysm.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient had a history, physical findings, and chest x-ray film suggesting type I aortic dissection. This diagnosis could not be confirmed angiographically. Echocardiographic studies predicted both the presence of dissection and the anatomic findings at surgery. A regularly oscillating echo corresponding to the intimal flap was found in the false lumen. This is suggested as a new echocardiographic finding in dissecting aneurysm.

Dissecting aortic aneurysm diagnosed by echocardiography. A pre- and postoperative study.
Although descriptions of the echoes originating from the aortic root and the aortic leaflets have been published (Feigenbaum, I972; Feigenbaum and Chang, I972; Gramiak and Shah, I968, I970), there have been few clinical applications of these observations apart from the evaluation of aortic stenosis and the presence of aortic calcification. The echocardiographic study of the aortic root might ho...

متن کاملApplication of thoracic endovascular dissecting aneurysm repair for secondary type B aortic dissection
Type A aortic dissection is an emergency condition that requires immediate surgery. Graft replacement of the ascending aorta is the main treatment for this disorder. However, after ascending aortic replacement, the dissection flap may progress to the distal side (to the descending aorta) and a new intimal tear may develop. In this study, we report on a 66-year-old woman who had a history of asc...

A 74-year-old man was diagnosed with aortic root aneurysm and two-vessel coronary disease. Echocardiographic assessment revealed an enlarged sinus of Valsalva 60 mm in diameter with mild aortic regurgitation. Florida sleeve repair was performed using a vascular graft combined with coronary artery bypass grafting. The postoperative course was uncomplicated and follow-up echocardiographic evaluat...
متن کاملSuperior vena cava syndrome secondary to chronic dissecting aortic aneurysm after aortic valve replacement.
Ascending aortic aneurysm is a rare cause of superior vena cava syndrome. Herein, we describe a case of superior vena cava syndrome caused by a chronic dissecting aortic aneurysm after aortic valve replacement. A successful replacement of the aortic root and ascending aorta led to an improvement of edema of the face and bilateral upper limbs caused by superior vena cava syndrome.
