1/1984. "Kissing" bilateral large carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms. A case report.A case of unruptured bilateral large carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms, which appear to be adjoining and "kissing" each other when visualized by three-dimensional computed tomographic angiography (3-D CTA), is reported. Although bilateral carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms are not rare, bilateral large ones are quite rare, and direct imaging of "kissing aneurysms" of this portion has not been reported. Since 3-D CTA is becoming a useful tool for the diagnosis of cerebral aneurysms, we propose that these and similar bilateral large carotid-ophthalmic aneurysms are good candidates for the term "kissing aneurysms".- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = carotid (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/1984. A large anomalous anterior choroidal artery associated with internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery aneurysm. Case report.A case of a large anomalous anterior choroidal artery (AchA) associated with internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery aneurysm is reported. At surgery, the large anomalous AchA mimicked the PcomA. Therefore, we initially mistook the large anomalous AchA for the PcomA, and the ICA-PcomA aneurysm for the dorsal ICA aneurysm arising at a location of other than an arterial division. This is a rare case of an anomaly of the AchA with an associated aneurysm found at surgery. Anatomical and surgical considerations are made.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.3255560779589keywords = carotid artery, carotid, artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/1984. Angioplasic surgery for renal artery aneurysm in pediatric hypertension.Aneurysmectomy and renal angioplasty were performed on a 14-year-old Japanese male and the blood pressure was within normal values 3 years after this surgery. Measurement of renal blood flow was facilitated by using 133Xe washout technique. This incidence is the eighth such case to be reported from japan.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4716215951114keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/1984. Spontaneously developed aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus in an adult.We report an unusual adult case of aneurysm associated with the ductus arteriosus. A 67-year-old female, who suffered recurrent nerve palsy, was diagnosed as having an aneurysm of the ductus arteriosus. The aneurysm, located in the medial aspect of the aortic ischimus and projected toward the pulmonary artery, was successfully repaired using a Dacron patch. A pathologic review of the aneurysm revealed the degeneration of the aortic media.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.11790539877785keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/1984. splenic artery aneurysm and orthotopic liver transplantation.splenic artery aneurysms are a rare but potentially fatal complication after liver transplantation. We report three cases presenting in a 12-month period in adult patients who underwent transplantation for chronic liver disease. Doppler ultrasound of the splenic artery should be performed in all patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension who are being assessed for liver transplantation. The aneurysm can be ligated at the time of transplantation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.7074323926671keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/1984. An unusual combination of cardiovascular surgical disorders.A 53-year-year-old man presented with aortic regurgitation, subvalvular and supravalvular aortic stenoses, and aneurysms involving the ascending aorta, the arch, and the innominate, right subclavian, and left common carotid arteries. Surgery consisted of resection of the obstructive lesions, replacement of the aortic valve, graft replacement of the ascending aorta, and the arch resection of innominate and subclavian artery aneurysms and reconstruction with a side limb to which the right carotid artery was anastomosed. The patient has remained asymptomatic with full employment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.69006295967107keywords = carotid artery, carotid, artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/1984. Repair of an aneurysm of the pulmonary trunk in a 65-year-old patient.The case of a 65-year-old patient with asymptomaticaneurysm of the pulmonary trunk associated with severe insufficiency of the pulmonary valve and symptomatic coronary artery disease is presented. The surgical procedure included coronary artery bypass grafting, aneurysmectomy, and pulmonary artery replacement with implantation of a stentless bioprosthesis and lengthening of the root of the bioprosthesis with a reversed vascular Y prosthesis, which was anastomosed to the left and right pulmonary artery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.47276171872027keywords = artery, artery disease (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/1984. Placement of a PTFE-covered Wallstent through a 12 Fr sheath for the exclusion of a common iliac artery aneurysm.We describe a technique for transfemoral endovascular exclusion of an iliac artery aneurysm with a reconstrained polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered Wallstent inserted through a 12 Fr sheath after right femoral artery cutdown. The procedure was successfully performed, with evidence of complete aneurysm exclusion at 4-month follow-up. This technique reduces the caliber of the introducer needed to deploy the covered Wallstent. It should be noted that because of a leak, an additional covered Palmaz stent was also deployed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.7074323926671keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/1984. Atherosclerotic aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery: report of two ruptured cases and review of the literature.Isolated arteriosclerotic aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery are rare. In citing the literature a total of 30 cases in 28 patients in the last 25 years were found. In addition to the above cases, two aged patients with ruptured aneurysms of the superficial femoral artery are reported; these were managed successfully with partial aneurysmectomy and restoration of the circulation of the extremity with a synthetic graft. The prognosis for this type of aneurysm following surgical therapy is good, despite the advanced age of the patients, and amputation is relatively rare, occurring in only two out of the 30 aneurysms (6.6%) reported. The risk of rupture is 46.6% (14/30) and is greater than that found in peripheral aneurysms. This, in association with the possibility of the creation of thrombosis (5/30; 16.6%) or embolization (1/30; 3.3%), threatens the extremity itself as well as the life of the patient, increasing the risk of complications and even death at a rate of 66.6% (20/30). Timely diagnosis, immediate surgical reconstruction and prompt mobilization, however, can guarantee a good prognosis for these aged patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.7074323926671keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/1984. Celiomesenteric anomaly with concurrent aneurysm.We describe a rare case of a celiomesenteric anomaly with concurrent aneurysm. The patient, a 53-year-old man, had no abdominal pain or discomfort. The presence of a celiac artery aneurysm was suspected on the basis of the results of abdominal computerized tomographic scanning and echo ultrasound scanning performed because of proteinuria. Intra-arterial digital subtraction angiographic results showed the anomaly and aneurysm. Because of the risk of rupture of the aneurysm, the lesion was repaired surgically, with the placement of an interpositional prosthetic graft. We found no previous reports of celiomesenteric anomaly with concurrent aneurysm repaired with prosthetic graft.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.11790539877785keywords = artery (Clic here for more details about this article) |
