We shared our experience of surgical treatment a giant aneurysm the ascending aorta (11 cm) in female patient with bicuspid valve, arterial hypertension and severe obesity. performed aortic valve replacement supracoronary prosthetic aorta. She showed improvement clinical status, echocardiography, was discharged followed up for 5 months after operation. Control computed tomography angiography de...

Aneurysm of the aorta is currently treated by open surgical repair or endovascular repair. However, when the aneurysm occurs in regions between the aortic arch and proximal descending aorta, it can be a complex pathology to treat due to its intricate geometry. When complex aortic aneurysms are treated with the conventional procedures, some of the patients present with significant post-operative...

Generally coarctation of aorta causes left ventricular dilatation which leads to systolic murmur of mitral regurgitation but in our case of coarctation of aorta the patient had submitral aneurysm as a cause of mitral regurgitation. As such coactation of aorta and submitral aneurysm rarely coexist.

Tuberculous aneurysm of the aorta is exceedingly rare. To date, the standard therapy for mycotic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta has been surgery involving in-situ graft placement or extra-anatomic bypass surgery followed by effective anti-tuberculous medication. Only recently has the use of a stent graft in the treatment of tuberculous aortic aneurysm been described in the literature. We repor...

Although aortic aneurysms associated with Takayasu arteritis are not rare, a total occlusion of the thoracoabdominal aorta enlargement is rare. We have experienced 60-year-old man who underwent second-stage surgery for aneurysm nine years after prior operation an ascending aorta-abdominal bypass atypical coarctation due to arteritis. present successful case treatment result 4 years’ follow-up.

Aortic disease arises from abnormalities in size or structure of the vessel wall. An (fusiform) aneurysm is a localized dilatation of the aorta, usually defined as >150% of the normal diameter for a given segment. Aortic dissection is bleeding into the media layer, often with propagation of a false lumen. Both diseases can occur independently, although dilated aortas are at increased risk of di...

The study was carried out on 10 swine of 20-30 kg body weight. Five animals were assigned to each of 2 groups. An aneurysm of the abdominal aorta was created experimentally in animals from the first and second study group. After 4 weeks, animals from the second group were subject to aneurysm repair using an aortic prosthesis. During the experiment, we measured the myoelectric activity of the mu...

INTRODUCTION Aneurysm is a disease in which an area of arterial wall is expanded as the result of the decreased resistance of the wall structure against the internal pressure. In most cases the wall is fatally ruptured. Aneurysm is one of the serious diseases of circulatory system, and the thoracic aorta is known to be a site where aneurysms frequently develop. The thoracic aorta consists of th...

The case history of an 84 year old woman presenting with a metachronous aneurysm of the infrarenal abdominal aorta is presented. At operation this second aneurysm was replaced by a further straight tube Dacron inlay graft. This report raises the important question as to whether the whole of the infrarenal aorta should be replaced when resecting an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, rather th...

A case is reported of a 20 year old woman, without history, stigmata, or serologic evidence of syphilis, who presented a mediastinal mass just above and lateral to the arch of the aorta which was originally mistaken for tuberculous lymph nodes. The diagnosis of saccular aneurysm was made after direct puncture of this mass under pleuroscopy. Exploratory thoracotomy was performed and a saccular a...
