OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the viability of the use of extracorporeal circulation established between the left atrium and ascending aorta to induce deep hypothermia for correcting thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
METHODS
From January 1994 to July 2001, 38 patients (mean age, 54.6 +/-
A 3-year-old boy with early rupture of an aortic aneurysm due to infantile Marfan's syndrome is presented. In an emergency operation we prepared a composite graft using a 17-mm St. Jude prosthesis with an 18-mm vascular conduit. The postoperative period was complicated by pneumothoraces, transient
A case is presented of an infant with tuberous sclerosis admitted with status epilepticus. When the seizures were controlled, it was found that the child was hypertensive. A large renal tumor and an abdominal aortic aneurysm was found during the hypertensive evaluation. She underwent abdominal
In a 23 year old female patient, hospitalized at the internal ward for precollapse condition in tachyarrhythmia seizure with signs of the Turner's syndrome and a corresponding chromosomal finding, a radiographic examination of thorax revealed, beside a spine deformity with a marked scoliosis, a
The adverse effects of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) become rare due to the increased progress specially in avoiding cardiovascular side effects. In fact, several studies report ECT treatment performed with success and without side effects, in depressive patients presenting serious cardiovascular
OBJECTIVE
We study the validity of surgical procedure for total aortic arch replacement according to the atherosclerosis in the aortic arch.
METHODS
From 2007 to June 2013, Consecutive 185 patients underwent total aortic arch replacement for thoracic aortic anuerysm. We studied 135 patients[96 males
BACKGROUND
Periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH) is a rare congenital anomaly of the brain presenting as nodular heterotopia along the paraventricular region. Ten cases of PNH complicated by aortic aneurysm have been reported in the literature, and 9 of them also had symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos
Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (VEDS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the COL3A1 or COL1A1 genes. Its mortality is secondary to sudden and spontaneous rupture of arteries or hollow organs. The genotype influences the distribution of arterial pathology with
The association between dermatomyositis and restrictive cardiomyopathy has not been reported before. We present here the clinical, echocardiographic and muscle biopsy data for a patient with dermatomyositis and restrictive cardiomyopathy. In a 78-year-old male with a history of arterial
Background: A rare progressive supranuclear palsy-like syndrome seemingly triggered by aortic surgery was first described in 2004. This largest case series to date describes the features of this syndrome.

Neurological complications are, at the present time, considered among the most important causes of morbidity and mortality after heart surgery. We evaluated their importance and risk factors.
METHODS
We retrospectively reviewed 2, 528 consecutive patients who underwent cardiopulmonary
A 69-year-old woman underwent thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with cerebrospinal fluid drainage (CSFD). The initial CSF pressure was elevated to approximately 25 cmH(2)O, and clear CSF was continuously drained at a rate of 30 ml/h with the drainage level at 10-20 cmH(2)O. The CSF became
OBJECTIVE
Schimmelpenning syndrome is a rare neurocutaneous disorder characterized by craniofacial nevus sebaceus in association with seizures, developmental delay, and ocular or skeletal pathology. Vascular anomalies also have been described in this condition, and some authors have suggested that
We monitored sublingual tissue PCO2 (PSLCO2) continuously with an ISFET (ion-sensitive field effect transistor) based PCO2 sensor during and after surgical treatment for descending aortic aneurysm. Using femoro-femoral bypass and a beating heart technique, distal end of aneurysm was clamped and then
