Abstract

To present a case with aorta coarctation complicated by aortic arch aneurysm which is clinical rare and entails a high risk of rupture. Here we reported a 46-year-old female patient diagnosed with aortic arch aneurysm combined with coarctation. The computed tomography angiography shows that an irregular aneurysm was located at the aortic arch site with its maximal diameter 86.55 mm and the right end of aneurysm was located 10 mm away from the ostium of left common carotid artery (LCCA). The aneurysm body invaded the left subclavian artery, and at the distal end of aneurysm a coarctation had been observed with a minimum diameter reaching 2.7 mm. We performed percutaneous balloon angioplasty, thoracic endovascular aortic repair to exclude the aneurysm, and simultaneously used a novel in situ fenestration device (Quick-Fenestrater) to revascularize the covered LCCA. This is first case of using a novel fenestration device single-stage endovascular treatment of complicated thoracic aorta coarctation concurrent with aortic arch aneurysm. Combined endovascular techniques can elevate the success rate of reconstruct complicated aorta aneurysm concurrent with coarctation and reduce complications. Under the guidance of Quick-Fenestrater, ...Continue Reading

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.

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.
