Anatomy of the aortic segmental arteries—the fundamentals of preventing spinal cord ischemia in aortic aneurysm repair

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Furthermore, it aids in planning and conducting safe aortic intervention and assists in deciding on single- or two-staged stent graft procedures. It underscores the value of preoperative CT councils and provides crucial information for interpreting the results.

Abstract 173: A Case Series of Basilar Tip Aneurysm Endovascular Treatment – The Barrow Neurological Institute Experience

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

IntroductionBasilar‐tip aneurysm (BTA) is the most common aneurysm found in the posterior circulation, representing 5–8% of total intracranial aneurysms. For ruptured aneurysms, Adjuvant therapy (BAC or SAC) was used to treat larger dimension aneurysms compared to CE (p = 0.046). vs. 10.7%).

His initial high sensitivity troponin I returned at 1300 ng/L and given that his cardiac workup was otherwise unremarkable, a CT was obtained to evaluate for pulmonary embolism and aortic aneurysm or dissection but this too was unrevealing. Another EKG was also obtained. ECG at time 82 minutes: What do you think?

Compare to the anatomy after stenting: The lower of the 2 now easily seen branches is the circumflex, now with excellent flow. Post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal defects are frequently seen in mid-anteroseptal and apical septal segments, whereas apex and the basal inferior segment are prone to aneurysm formation.

Medtronic Launches Steerant Aortic Guidewire for EVAR and TEVAR Procedures

DAIC

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) are minimally invasive procedures to treat abdominal, and many thoracic, aortic aneurysms. An aneurysm, an abnormal bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood vessel, can burst which causes bleeding inside the body and often leads to death. [1]

Recent MI at another facility. Now back in the ER with chest pain

The report describes heavy plaque in the proximal RCA by IVUS, but no lesions in the previously occluded RPL branch and no stent was deployed. It is consistent with an inferior LV aneurysm. Her ECG afterward is shown below: ECG from five days prior Smith : this shows an old inferior MI with persistent ST elevation.
