Endovascular repair of symptomatic penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcers.
We present the case of a male patient aged 74 years, who came to our hospital’s emergency room due to presenting intense central chest pain while exercising, which then descended caudally. He was a former smoker who had quit 5 years earlier, and had no other cardiovascular risk factors. As pulmonary thromboembolism was initially suspected, we performed a thoracic computerised tomography (CT) an...
متن کاملPenetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcer: documentation by transesophageal echocardiography.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to describe the ability of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to document the presence of penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcers and their complications. BACKGROUND TEE has greatly enhanced our ability to assess patients with suspected aortic disease. However, the utility of this technique in the diagnosis of penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcers is sti...
متن کاملMultislice computed tomography for detection of patients with aortic valve stenosis and quantification of severity.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether multislice computed tomography (MSCT) provides a reliable, noninvasive imaging modality for identification of patients with degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) by quantifying the aortic valve area (AVA) in comparison to the accepted diagnostic standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). BACKGROUND Management of patients with ...
متن کاملThoracic aortic stent-grafts: utility of multidetector CT for pre- and postprocedure evaluation.
Indications for and experience with placement of endovascular stent-grafts in the thoracic aorta are still evolving. Common pathologic conditions of the thoracic aorta that are amenable to stent placement include penetrating ulcers, aortic dissection, aortic aneurysms, aortic rupture, and congenital abnormalities. Advances in multidetector computed tomography (CT) permit high-quality two-dimens...
متن کاملREVIEW Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine Management of acute aortic syndromes
Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) is a modern term to describe interrelated emergency aortic conditions with similar clinical characteristics and challenges. These conditions include aortic dissection, intramural haematoma (IMH), and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU and aortic rupture); trauma to the aorta with intimal laceration may also be considered. The common denominator of AAS is disrupti...
