Double aortic arch (DAA) is a common form of complete vascular ring. The condition leads to airway obstruction and compression of the esophagus. A balanced type of DAA is an extremely rare anomaly. The anatomical aberration cannot be easily distinguished by transthoracic echocardiography when an infant has chronic respiratory distress. Herein we presented a case of an 11-month-old infant who had chronic respiratory distress and a balanced type of DAA.

Spinal cord ischemia and injury pose significant challenges in spinal surgery and traumatic events. Cerebrospinal drains are considered a potential intervention to mitigate these risks, although their efficacy and safety are uncertain. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cerebrospinal drains in preventing and managing spinal cord ischemia and injury.

It remains controversial as to which optimal cannulation strategy ought to be employed in surgery for type A aortic dissection (TAAD). The aim of this study was to make a comparison of the clinical outcomes between single and double arterial cannulation. From January 2018 to December 2022, 403 individuals with TAAD were recruited for the study and were divided into two groups based on the cannulation approach.

In patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), multi-valve disease is common and associated with worse outcomes. Despite multiple emerging transcatheter valve treatment options, no guidelines exist for the transcatheter treatment of multi-valve disease. We present a case of a 76-year-old patient with concomitant severe aortic valve stenosis and severe mitral valve stenosis who underwent concurrent TAVI and transcatheter mitral valve replacement.

Objective: Single-center studies have suggested that solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for arterial aneurysms. Moreover, they describe a more aggressive natural history with increased rates of expansion and rupture. In this exploratory analysis, we aim to assess the frequency of arterial aneurysms in solid organ transplant recipients using a large-scale national database.

Front Cardiovasc Med
December 2024
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Background: Double aortic arch (DAA) with type B aortic dissection in adults is a rare aortic vascular disease. The abnormal anatomical structure of the aortic arch in such patients presents significant challenges in the selection of surgical approaches, and there is a notable lack of exploration into endovascular repair approaches that simultaneously preserve asymptomatic vascular rings.
Case Description: A 43-year-old female patient was admitted due to recurrent chest and back pain lasting for over a month.
