OBJECTIVE
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can present with symptoms because of aneurysmal compression of adjacent organ systems. This condition has always been treated by open surgical repair. Here, we report a case of an AAA complicated by inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis and deep venous
Enlarging aneurysms in the thoracic aorta frequently remain asymptomatic. Fistulization of thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) to adjacent structures or the presence of a patent ductus arteriosus and TAA may lead to irreversible cardiopulmonary sequelae. This article reports on a large aneurysm of the
Aortocaval fistula (ACF) is a rare complication of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and its preoperative diagnosis is often difficult. A 71-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to unilateral leg edema. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a common
Limb ischemia in experimental animals leads to white blood cell (WBC) and thromboxane (Tx)A2 dependent pulmonary dysfunction. This study examines the pulmonary sequelae of lower torso ischemia in 20 consecutive patients aged 63 +/- 5 years (mean +/- SEM) who underwent elective abdominal aortic
A 61-year-old man, who had previously undergone percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the left anterior descending artery (LAD), was scheduled for open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair under general anesthesia. Although the left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction was 63%, diastolic dysfunction
We are reporting a case of familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection in a 26-year-old man with no significant past medical history and a family history of dissecting aortic aneurysm in his mother at the age of 40. The patient presented with cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Chest
A patient with an unrecognized rupture of the ascending aorta developed severe pulmonary edema three weeks following the initial injury. This is a distinctly unusual manifestation of this injury. Emergency resection of the traumatic aneurysm was required to reverse the rapidly deteriorating clinical
Inflammatory aneurysms are an uncommon disorder that represent between 5% and 10% of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Their presentation is often variable and may include pain and obstruction of adjacent anatomic structures. This report describes a 68-year-old man who sought treatment after insidious
A successful emergency operation for a 75-year-old man with aorto-caval fistula secondary to rupture of the abdominal aortic aneurysm is reported. A definite diagnosis of aorto-caval fistula was made by echography with characteristic engorgement of the caval vein. Clinical signs and symptoms
Diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) and (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) findings are described in a patient with a thoracic aortic aneurysm. Both examinations have the ability to noninvasively assess biological processes associated with aneurysm instability and therefore
The purpose of this study is to determine the clinical features with the best preoperative diagnostic value for aortocaval fistulas (ACF) associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). A review of our experience of seven patients presenting ACF between 1980 and 1994 as well as an extensive study
We experienced a case of constrictive pericarditis with dissecting aortic aneurysm (DeBakey type II). The patient complained of orthopnea and leg edema. The cause of constrictive pericarditis was pericardial effusion due to dissecting aortic aneurysm. Ascending aortic replacement with graft and
