New technique for repair of ascending thoracic aortic dissections

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

Dacron graft replacement of the ascending aorta for thoracic dissections often results in major intraoperative or postoperative hemorrhage due to tissue tearing at the suture lines. We report a promising solution to this problem: strengthening the aortic wall with glutaraldehyde solution. Using this technique, we obtained a tough, resistant tissue that could be sutured without disintegration. We have used the method successfully in 5 consecutive patients.

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.
