Abstract

Recurrent aortic aneurysms after operation for true thoracic aortic aneurysm are not rare. It is reported that the incidence of redo operations after operation for true thoracic aortic aneurysm is 6 to 14%, and operative mortality is higher than that for primary operation. We have reviewed a variety of techniques of redo thoracic aortic surgery that have recently been reported. The followings are important to manage in these high risk patients, adequate selection of supportive measures, use of retrograde as well as antegrade infusion of cardioplegic solutions, meticulous operative technique.

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.
