An off-pump technique was developed to surgically manage the problem of aortic arch hypoplasia frequently associated with coarctation of the aorta and borderline size left-sided structures. The technique was successfully utilized in 5 patients adequately repairing the arch without any side effects.

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.

Background: Smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of the proximal thoracic aorta are derived from second heart field (SHF) and cardiac neural crest lineages. Recent studies, both in vitro and in vivo, have implied relevance of lineage-specific SMC functions in the pathophysiology of thoracic aortic diseases; however, whether 2 lineage-derived SMCs have any predisposed transcriptional differences in the control aorta remains unexplored.
Methods: Single-cell RNA sequencing and single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing were performed on isolated cells from the aortic root and ascending aortas of 14-week-old SHF-traced () and cardiac neural crest-traced () male mice.
Literature review analysis of aortitis induced by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor.

Department of Clinical Pharmacy, Weifang People's Hospital, Shandong Second Medical University, Weifang, China.
Background: Recombinant human granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSF)-induced aortitis is a rare but particularly serious adverse event, commonly seen in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The aim of this article is to clarify the clinical characteristics of G-CSF- induced aortitis and provide effective references for clinical diagnosis and intervention.
Methods: Case reports of adverse reactions of aortitis induced by G-CSF were collected from the relevant databases.
CHALLENGING PROXIMAL CONTROL FOR OPEN THORACOABDOMINAL REPAIR.
Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg
December 2024
Division of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, UTMB-Galveston, Galveston, TX. Electronic address:
Proximal control of the thoracic aorta during the open repair of thoracoabdominal aorta can be challenging. Various techniques have been developed to address these challenges, including the use of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and staged procedures such as the conventional as well as frozen elephant trunk procedures. This paper is a brief review of the challenges and rationale behind some approaches.
