Successful surgical management of an aortic arch aneurysm with acute aorto-pulmonary fistula

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

Aortic arch aneurysm with acute aorto-pulmonary fistula is usually a postmortem diagnosis. Few reports of successful surgical management are noted. Despite the many advances in cardiac surgery over the last 30 years, the observed mortality rate for surgical correction has been very high. Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention using profound hypothermia and total circulatory arrest are essential to successful outcome.

Aneurysm

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

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.
