Abstract

A 50-year-old man with an extensive aneurysm of the ascending aorta with extension through the transverse arch and of the descending thoracic aorta had this segment repaired by insertion of multiple stent grafts and, 2 days later, of the arch and ascending segment by an open-surgical procedure. The stents covered the segment from the takeoff of the left subclavian artery to the thoracoabdominal transition. The procedure consisted of insertion of a Dacron tube graft that covered the segment from the proximal edge of the first stent to the aortic root. The patient has had an event-free recovery.

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.

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.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
