Case Report: Surgical treatment of type B aortic dissection in an adult with double aortic arch

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundDouble aortic arch (DAA) with type B aortic dissection in adults is a rare aortic vascular disease. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) indicated a double aortic arch anomaly with localized dissection of the descending aorta.

Aortic endograft infection after thoracic endovascular aortic repair: two case reports and literature review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

With the maturity of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) technology and its increasing application in clinical practice, complications and long-term management after TEVAR have become issues of concern. Here, we report two cases of TEVAR for thoracic aortic dissection.

Stenting, TAVR Make Sense Packaged Together for Some Patients

Med Page Today

(MedPage Today) -- LONDON -- Some individuals already undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR, also TAVI) might as well get coronary lesions revascularized around the same time, according to the NOTION-3 randomized trial. Clinical.

Clinical outcomes and aortic remodeling after Castor single-branched stent-graft implantation for type B aortic dissections involving left subclavian artery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundThe left subclavian artery (LSA) can be intentionally covered by a stent graft to acquire adequate landing zones for a proximal entry tear near the LSA during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The Castor single-branched stent graft is designed to treat type B aortic dissection (TBAD) to retain the LSA during TEVAR.

Case Report: Combined transcatheter arterial embolization and aortic stent-graft have better efficacy for bronchial artery aneurysms

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In the present case, a 76-year-old hypertensive woman was admitted with dizziness and diagnosed with an unruptured bronchial artery aneurysm, which was treated by transcatheter arterial embolization and aortic stent-graft. The patient's clinical status was stable during the 4-year follow-up.

Case Report: Endovascular therapy for an iatrogenic vertebrojugular arteriovenous fistula and pseudoaneurysm induced by multiple vascular procedures

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The patient, who complained of dizziness, was initially diagnosed with bradycardia and aortic paravalvular leak. However, the symptoms persisted even after permanent pacemaker implantation and transcatheter closure of the aortic paravalvular leak. A VAPA originated from another ostium of the right VA without a drainage vessel.
