Abstract

The authors report their experiences in two kinds of late complications of direct reconstructive surgery: infections and anastomotic false aneurysms. Such complications occurred after operations calling for the use of alloplastic prostheses, with an incidence of 2.8% out of all other operations in which prosthesic grafts have been used. All the patients have undergone second surgery with good results in 16 cases out of 19 (84.3%), 1 patient underwent amputation (5.2%) and 2 patients, suffering for infected false aneurysms of the aorta, died (10.5%).

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.
