Abstract

Retrograde type A dissection during or after endoluminal graft repair of the descending thoracic aorta is a potentially lethal complication unique to thoracic endografting. Our aim is to increase its awareness and to review possible etiological factors. Two hundred and eighty-seven patients with different thoracic aortic pathologies were treated with endovascular prostheses over the last 6 years (February 2000 to March 2006) under a single-site protocol. A retrospective review was conducted to identify any retrograde aortic dissections by both chart and film review. Factors that may have contributed to its formation were also documented. This population was analyzed for the complication of retrograde aortic dissection as well as the factors related to its occurrence. Seven patients (2.4%) with a gender distribution of three males and four females experienced a retrograde type A dissection within this sample at a median of 202 days. The mean age was 74 years (range 53-83). Aortic pathologies included aortic dissections (n=6) and thoracic aortic aneurysm (n=1). There were (n=3) 43% retrograde type A dissections identified within the perioperative period. Balloon angioplasty was performed in 71.4% (n=5). Two female patients (28.6%...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.
