Giant Aneurysm After Aortic Coarctation: Repair without Circulatory Arrest

JOURNAL OF CARDIAC SURGERY, Issue 5 2010
D.E.S.A., Gabor Erdoes M.D.
Using the hemi-clamshell approach, the entire aortic arch was replaced and the supraaortic branches were reimplanted. The applied surgical technique using hypothermic extracorporeal circulation without cardiac arrest allowed an uninterrupted cerebral and spinal cord perfusion due to stepwise clamping of the aortic arch during reconstruction and resulted in an excellent neurologic outcome at six-month follow-up.,(J Card Surg 2010;25:560-562) [source]

Giant Aneurysm of Aortocoronary Saphenous Vein Graft Compressing the Left Pulmonary Artery

JOURNAL OF CARDIAC SURGERY, Issue 4 2006
Bruno Chiappini M.D.
CT scan displayed a mass with an internal lumen compressing the left atrium as well as the left pulmonary artery. [source]

A Giant Dissecting Aneurysm of Ascending Aorta

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, Issue 3 2005
Oben Baysan M.D.
Aortic aneurysm is a serious clinical challenge for the cardiologist. Aneurysm expansion frequently associated with significant dissection and rupture risk. Currently available diagnostic modalities make earlier diagnosis and therapy possible hence giant aneurysm with dissection is relatively rare. In this case report, we present a patient with giant aortic aneurysm with dissection. [source]

Arm chorea secondary to an unruptured giant aneurysm,

MOVEMENT DISORDERS, Issue 11 2003
Luis M. Barreiro De Madariaga MD
Abstract We describe the case of a 20-year-old male who developed right-arm choreic movements secondary to a giant unruptured aneurysm impinging upon the left thalamus, putamen, globus pallidus, cerebral peduncle, midbrain, and subthalamic nucleus. The aneurysm was treated successfully with coils and a supraclinoid balloon. Abnormal movements initially failed to ameliorate, but within a few months, it was possible to discontinue symptomatic haloperidol therapy, with only mild residual abnormal movements. © 2003 Movement Disorder Society [source]

Multiple cerebral aneurysms as delayed complication of left cardiac myxoma: a case report and review

ACTA NEUROLOGICA SCANDINAVICA, Issue 6 2005
M. Sabolek
Left cardiac myxoma and also consecutive embolization into the brain is well documented, whereas the association of myxomas with multiple fusiform cerebral aneurysms is rare. We analyze 33 previously reported patients and present a case of a 43-year-old woman with multiple cerebral infarctions 2 years after resection of a recurrent myxoma in the left atrium. Cerebral angiography displayed multiple fusiform aneurysms of several cerebral arteries, including a giant aneurysm of the basilar artery. Serum level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) was highly elevated. The clinical, radiological and pathological features of these aneurysms are summarized. The pathogenesis, including the role of IL-6 in the formation of myxomatous aneurysms, is discussed. [source]

Natural History of a Giant Coronary Aneurysm With Spontaneous Dissection

CLINICAL CARDIOLOGY, Issue 12 2009
Alberto Bouzas-Mosquera MD
Primary spontaneous coronary artery dissection may appear in young women during the peripartum period or as a result of atherosclerosis. We present a patient with familial hypercholesterolemia who developed a giant aneurysm of the right coronary artery in the setting of atherosclerotic spontaneous coronary dissection over an 8 year period. This report illustrates the association between spontaneous coronary artery dissection and subsequent coronary aneurysm formation. Copyright © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [source]
