AI Article Synopsis
- The article reports on a successful surgical case involving a male patient with a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm, highlighting the challenges in surgical planning and execution.
- The case was complicated by subtotal haemothorax, necessitating careful management during the operation and recovery.
- It outlines effective strategies that led to positive outcomes both immediately after surgery and during a one-year follow-up, while also reviewing relevant literature on the topic.
Article Abstract
The article deals with the results of successful surgical management of a male patient with a ruptured thoracic aortic aneurysm, posing particular problems as to deciding upon the scope and stages of surgical reconstruction, accompanied by describing the dynamics of clinical and diagnostic parameters, as well as the main events of the postoperative period. This clinical case report was characterized by additional difficulties due to the occurrence of subtotal haemothorax. Also presented herein is a set of comprehensive measures making it possible to successfully complete open reconstruction of the thoracic portion of the aorta and to achieve a satisfactory outcome both during the in-hospital period and within one-year follow up. Besides, elucidated is the state-of-the-art of this problem in the world literature.

Atherosclerosis is a progressive arterial disease arising from imbalanced lipid metabolism and a maladaptive immune response. The lymphatic system ensures tissue fluid homeostasis, absorption of dietary fats and trafficking of immune cells to draining lymph nodes, thereby potentially affecting atherogenesis. Endothelial cell-specific deletion of Pannexin1 (Panx1) in apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice increased atherosclerosis, suggesting a protective role for Panx1 channels in arterial endothelial function.

Aortic pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening complication following aortic surgery. Although surgical repair remains the gold standard for treatment, alternative approaches such as transcatheter strategies are increasingly considered viable options, particularly in patients with high surgical risk due to comorbidities, anatomical challenges or technical constraints. We present the case of a 72-year-old male patient who developed a subaortic pseudoaneurysm during radiological follow-up after a previous Bentall operation.
