Article Synopsis
- A 52-year-old man presented with facial swelling due to a mass in the right atrium obstructing the superior vena cava, leading to SVC syndrome.
- Emergency surgery was performed to resect the tumor, which was found to be metastatic squamous cell carcinoma, although the primary cancer source was undetected.
- The patient had a smooth recovery and started chemotherapy four months later, remaining alive 28 months after the surgery.
Objective: The predissection aortic diameter is the best reference for determining the size of the frozen elephant trunk in aortic dissection. We aimed to develop a new prediction method to estimate the predissection diameter of proximal descending aorta. Furthermore, we evaluated the accuracy of the estimated predissection proximal descending aortic diameters calculated using 3 prediction methods.

- A 44-year-old man with a past case of Stanford type B acute aortic dissection was admitted for treatment due to a new acute aortic dissection confirmed by a CT scan, which revealed a significant descending aortic dissection.
- He underwent a one-stage extended aortic repair after 22 days of conservative treatment, involving surgery from the ascending to the descending thoracic aorta.
- Post-surgery, he experienced complications like right empyema and recurrent nerve palsy but improved over time and was discharged 64 days after the operation following antibiotic treatment.
Purpose: To identify the perioperative factors associated with aneurysm size changes after endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).
Methods: Between August, 2008 and December, 2014, 187 patients underwent EVAR treatment in our institution. The subjects of this study were 135 of these patients without peripheral artery disease, who were followed up with computed tomography (CT) for 3 years.
