Abstract

Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) are the most common condition of the thoracic aorta requiring surgical treatment. Despite significant improvement in anesthetic, surgical techniques and postoperative care, the mortality and morbidity rate in TAA-repair remains high. The aim of this study was to assess the morbidity and mortality rate after endovascular stent-graft treatment of atherosclerotic (non-dissecting) TAAs. Thirty-one patients, ASA-classification III-IV, with symptomatic or expanding atherosclerotic TAAs underwent endovascular stent-graft repair between May 1997 and August 2003. Procedures were performed on an emergency basis in 13 patients and elective in 18 patients. Patients were assessed postoperatively by routine CT-scan within 48 h. Further follow up investigations were performed after 3, 6, 12 months and annually thereafter. Stent-graft placement was successful in all but one patient in whom the stent-graft procedure had to be postponed due severe hemodynamic instability. Perioperative mortality rate was 19% including three haemorrhages, two cardiac events and one respiratory failure (6/31). Technical success rate was 55% (17/31). Completion CT scans performed in 30 patients within 2 days of stent-graft procedure ...Continue Reading

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.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.

Aneurysm

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