Late aneurysm after subclavian flap aortoplasty for coarctation of the aorta

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

Late aneurysms are common after repair of coarctation of the aorta by prosthetic patch aortoplasty but are rare after subclavian flap aortoplasty. We present the case of a 14-year-old boy who underwent a grafting procedure for a descending thoracic aortic aneurysm after subclavian flap aortoplasty for coarctation of the aorta when he was 2 years old. This is the fifth report of late aneurysm formation after subclavian flap aortoplasty.

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.

Aortic Coarctation

Aortic coarctation is a congenital condition characterized by narrowing of the aorta. Discover the latest research on this disease here.
