1/264. Simultaneous operation for minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.Simultaneous minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass and abdominal aortic aneurysm repair were conducted in a 66-year-old man uneventful, requiring no transfusion. Surgery required 9 hours and 2 minutes. The tracheal tube was extubated in the operating room. Postoperative bleeding was 215 ml. The postoperative course was very smooth, with the patient able to walk on postoperative day 1. Postoperative coronary arteriogram and aortogram showed favorable results and the patient was discharged on day 23 after surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/264. 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 = 1.2keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/264. Stenting of coronary artery stenosis in Kawasaki disease.Coronary artery lesions can develop in Kawaski disease as a major complication, and result in aneurysm formation and stenosis. Reported is the evolution of important coronary artery stenosis in a pediatric patient managed with an endovascular stent.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/264. Obliteration of a coronary artery aneurysm with a PTFE-covered stent: endoluminal graft for coronary disease revisited.This is the first reported use of the JOSTENT stent graft for aneurysm disease in native coronaries. Consideration can be given to using this polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-covered stent in situations such as dissections and restenosis in saphenous vein grafts or in long native coronary arteries without side branches, though further investigation is warranted.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/264. Combined coronary artery bypass grafting and repair of aneurysm of the descending aorta.The outcome of patients with thoracic or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is often determined by the concomitant coronary artery disease. Two patients with thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and concomitant single-vessel coronary artery disease underwent combined myocardial revascularization and repair of aortic aneurysm. The operations were performed through a left thoracotomy and thoracoabdominal incision with distal aortic perfusion using a partial femoro-femoral bypass and selective right lung ventilation. Coronary anastomoses were performed on the beating heart, and the aneurysm was replaced with a woven Dacron tube graft.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.6keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/264. coronary artery bypass grafting in a case with severe aortic atheromatosis associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm.A 69-year-old man with coronary artery disease associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm underwent a one-stage operation utilizing a low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass. Ordinary cardiopulmonary bypass was abandoned as a result of severe atheromatous finding in the entire aorta. However, coronary artery bypass grafting without cardiopulmonary bypass was hazardous as a result of heart enlargement and deteriorating function. Therefore, the abdominal aortic aneurysm was first replaced with a bifurcated graft. coronary artery bypass grafting with two arterial grafts was then performed successfully on the beating heart with the support of a low-flow cardiopulmonary bypass connected to the bifurcated graft.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/264. Endovascular stent-grafting via the aortic arch for distal arch aneurysm: An alternative of endovascular stent-grafting in a complicated case.A 67-year-old man with severe discomfort was diagnosed with a rupture of the thoraco-abdominal aneurysm, a distal arch aneurysm and triple coronary artery disease. After emergency surgery for a thoracoabdominal aneurysm, a scheduled surgery for coronary artery bypass grafting and endoluminal stent-grafting for the distal arch aneurysm was performed simultaneously. A stent-graft was introduced into the descending aorta via a small incision on the arch aorta. Open endovascular stent-grafting via the arch aorta is an alternative for repairing a distal arch aneurysm with coronary artery bypass grafting.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.8keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/264. Pulmonary venous aneurysm presenting as a mediastinal mass in ischemic cardiomyopathy.True aneurysm of the pulmonary vein is a rare lesion and may present as a mediastinal mass. Acquired aneurysm of the right superior pulmonary vein presenting as a middle mediastinal mass in a patient with ischemic cardiomyopathy associated with severe mitral regurgitation and dilated left atrium is described. Though the natural history of this lesion is uncertain, it may progressively enlarge and become symptomatic. Presence of this lesion in this patient with cardiomyopathy may require a modification of surgical technique at cardiac transplantation or surgical resection of an aneurysm without cardiopulmonary bypass.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/264. Sealing of coronary artery aneurysm by using a new stent graft.Coronary stenting has begun to play an increasingly important role in the management of coronary artery aneurysms. A case of successful and complete sealing of a coronary aneurysm by using a new stent graft is described. Further studies in a large patient population are required to confirm the safety and efficacy of this method. Cathet. Cardiovasc.

10/264. A large coronary artery saphenous vein bypass graft aneurysm with a fistula: case report and review of the literature.We describe a patient who developed a large aneurysm of saphenous vein graft to the right coronary artery with a fistulous communication to the right atrium. The presence of a fistulous communication of a saphenous vein graft aneurysm after coronary bypass surgery to one of the heart chambers is extremely rare. The diagnosis was made by coronary angiography and confirmed by CT and MRI. At surgery the aneurysm was ligated and excised. The fistula to the right atrium was closed. Repeat coronary artery bypass surgery with aortic valve replacement was performed at the same time without complications. Cathet. Cardiovasc.
