Endovascular treatment of postoperative aortic coarctation aneurysms-a single center experience.

Background: Formation of local type aortic aneurysm years after surgical repair of coarctation (CoA) occurs in 10% of patients independent of the surgical technique and is a potentially life-threatening condition if left untreated with a high risk of aortic rupture. Redo open surgery is associated with 14% in-hospital mortality and a high risk of complications. Endovascular treatment appears to be a feasible alternative with a high success rate and low morbidity and mortality, but data concerning long-term results is still mandatory.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is more common in Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Considering that ruptured AAA is potentially fatal, timely management of AAA would result in long-term survival benefits. We assess the prevalence and characteristics of AAA in resectable NSCLC patients who would benefit from AAA surveillance.

Article Synopsis
  • Left ventricular (LV) free wall rupture is a serious and often deadly outcome of a heart attack, specifically after an acute myocardial infarction.
  • A case is presented involving an elderly woman who experienced this rupture following anesthesia induction for a heart surgery, having suffered a heart attack just days earlier.
  • The case underscores the importance of recognizing symptoms and managing severe low blood pressure during surgery, while also discussing the uncommon ways this rupture can manifest and how to effectively treat it.

Aneurysm rupture is a life-threatening event, yet its underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. This study investigated the fracture properties of the thoracic aneurysmatic aorta (TAA) using the symmetry-constraint Compact Tension (symconCT) test and compared results to native and enzymatic-treated porcine aortas' tests. With age, the aortic stiffness increased, and tissues ruptured at lower fracture energy [Formula: see text].
