False aneurysm of the ascending aorta presenting as an acute myocardial infarction: a late complication of aortocoronary bypass

Chest
M MorissetteP Bettez

Abstract

After coronary bypass surgery, a 40-year-old man developed disruption of the site of cannulation of the ascending aorta. The false aneurysm which ensued presented as recurrent episodes of spontaneous angina and myocardial infarction ending in coronary death 48 days after surgery. the aortic origin of all three permeable coronary bypasses were strangulated by the hematoma. Awareness of this unusual potential hazard is essential, since an early suspicion would lead to proper diagnostic interventions and reoperation.

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.

Antifungals

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals 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.

Antifungals (ASM)
