Abstract

Aortico-left ventricular tunnel is a very rare congenital anomaly. An 18-year-old boy had undergone tunnel closure at 3 years of age. A moderate degree of aortic regurgitation remained postoperatively. Seven years later, aortic valve replacement for aortic regurgitation was performed. Eight years later, the ascending aortic aneurysm had grown to 63 mm in diameter. This dilatation became an operative indication. Ascending aortic replacement was performed with a Dacron graft. Pathological examination of the resected aortic wall revealed cystic medial degeneration. We report a rare case of ascending aortic aneurysm following surgical repair of the aortico-left ventricular tunnel and aortic valve replacement.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
