Saccular aneurysm of the aortic arch is a condition with a high associated mortality. Open surgery is often complicated with poor outcome and high postoperative morbidity and mortality. In this case report, we describe an alternative stepwise endovascular repair: coiling of the aneurysm followed by covering of the ostium of the saccular aneurysm by chimney endovascular aortic repair. In our opinion, this technique could be an alternative for a fully customized branched or fenestrated endoprosthesis to treat these kind of aneurysms.

Embolized Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Diagnosed With Transesophageal Echocardiography and a Novel Management Strategy Using a Thoracic Endovascular Aneurysm Repair Stent.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a common treatment for severe aortic stenosis (AS), but it carries the risk of severe complications, including device embolization. We present a case of a TAVR valve embolization into the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), diagnosed with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) shortly after device deployment. The dislodged valve was successfully retrieved from the LVOT into the aorta, flattened, and stabilized with a thoracic endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) stent, enabling the successful implantation of a new TAVR valve.

The Lim Kinase (LIMK) family of serine/threonine kinases is comprised of LIMK1 and LIMK2, which are central regulators of cytoskeletal dynamics via their well-characterized roles in promoting actin polymerization and destabilizing the cellular microtubular network. The LIMKs have been demonstrated to modulate several fundamental physiological processes, including cell cycle progression, cell motility and migration, and cell differentiation. These processes play important roles in maintaining cardiovascular health.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant disorder affecting the connective tissue, often leading to aortic root dilation, aneurysm, and dissection. We report on a 35-year-old Bangladeshi female patient with MFS who presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and a significant aortic root aneurysm, along with a reduced ejection fraction (EF) of 20%-25%. Imaging confirmed significant aortic dilation, and due to the high risk of mortality, an urgent Bentall procedure was performed.
