Surgical treatment of nonaneurysmal aortic arch lesions in patients with systemic embolization. (1/58)

PURPOSE: Atherosclerotic lesions of the aortic arch are potential sources of arterial embolism. Here we investigate whether surgery, with the necessary circulatory supports, can be proposed as a good option for treatment of this problem. Study of these lesions on a national scale in France has made possible the assessment for future indications of techniques and results of the surgical management of aortic arch lesions, which retrospectively proved to be embolic. METHODS: Thirty-eight patients, (19 men and 19 women) underwent surgery between 1976 and 1996 in 17 French cardiovascular surgical centers. The average age at the time of surgery was 49 +/- 12 years (range, 31 to 82 years). Atherosclerotic lesions were detected with transesophagial echocardiography (n = 19), angiography of the aortic arch (n = 16), computed tomography (n = 9), and magnetic resonance imaging (n = 10). Surgery consisted of thrombectomy and endarterectomy (n = 22), aortic resection and graft replacement (n = 10), and patch aortoplasty (n = 5; one thrombus disappeared spontaneously before surgery was performed). RESULTS: The average postoperative period was 30 months (range, 3 to 82 months). Contact was lost with four patients after a follow-up period of 12 months. On pathologic specimens obtained at surgery, an atherosclerotic plaque was found in 73% of the cases (n = 28). In 15% of the cases, the aorta appeared normal (n = 6) and four other types of lesion were identified: angiosarcoma (n = 1), ectasia at the insertion of the remains of the ductus arteriosus (n = 1), rupture of tunica intima (n = 1), and a fibroblastic plaque (n = 1). A thrombus was identified in 26 cases, attached to the arterial wall in 18 cases. When transesophagial echocardiographic results showed mobile lesions (n = 22), histopathologic examination of specimens allowed the detection of a thrombus in 18 cases and an atherosclerotic plaque with a mobile projection in four cases. The postoperative mortality rate was 2.6%. The morbidity rate (28.9%; n = 11) was related to neurologic complications (n = 6), vascular complications (n = 4), and infection (n = 1). Four cases (12%) were reoperated. CONCLUSION: Nonaneurysmal aortic arch lesions are a frequent and still underestimated source of stroke and peripheral embolization. Surgery with circulatory support can be recommended in good operative candidates with recurrent critical events despite medical management and with high embolic potential (young patients with no calcified plaques).  (+info)

PARADOXES OF TAKAYASU'S DISEASE. (2/58)

Takayasu's disease (or arteritis) has been defined as an "idiopathic aortitis usually affecting young women." It can come to light from very spectacular and often quite puzzling clinical manifestations. Six cases of Takayasu's disease were investigated at the UCLA Hospital in the years 1961-1962, and signs and symptoms of central nervous system involvement were found in five of the patients. This relatively high incidence of neurological deficit prompted a review of case reports in the literature and this in turn led to a series of "unexpected" findings in the historical evolution of the illness as well as in its anatomopathological aspects. The study indicated that Takayasu's disease is frequently associated with neurological manifestations, at times very severe. In addition, the disease appears to be far more extensive than its classical description suggests. New criteria for the diagnosis of Takayasu's disease must include, among other things, special emphasis on the disseminated nature of the disease.  (+info)

Common variable immunodeficiency syndrome with right aortic arch: a case report. (3/58)

BACKGROUND: Common variable immunodeficiency syndrome predominantly affects adults. It is characterized by low production of all the major classes of immunoglobulins. We report a case of common variable immunodeficiency syndrome with right aortic arch. An association of right-sided arch and common variable immunodeficiency syndrome has not been previously reported. CASE PRESENTATION: A 41-year-old female patient presented with a history of recurrent pneumonia, sinusitis, otitis media, diarrhoea, cystitis since childhood. Biochemical and immunocytochemical analysis revealed common variable immunodeficiency syndrome and radiological evaluation confirmed right aortic arch and aberrant left subclavian artery. CONCLUSION: Common variable immunodeficiency syndrome syndrome is a clinical entity that should be kept in mind in patients with recurrent infections of different sites.  (+info)

Subclavian steal in Takayasu's arteritis. A hemodynamic study by means of ultrasonic Doppler flowmetry. (4/58)

Blood flow in the vertebral artery and the upper extremity was studied in five cases of Takayasu's arteritis with subclavian steal by use of ultrasonic Doppler flowmetry and finger plethysmography. The diagnosis of subclavian steal was made by observation of flow reversal in the vertebral artery on the subclavian steal side during grip exercise and, in addition, the vertebral flow change with brachial artery occlusion. The blood flow increase of both internal cartotid and non-affected (non-subclavian steal side) vertebral arteries during a common carotid compression was almost normal in patients with Takayasu's arteritis in this study. During carotid compression on the side of the subclavian steal, ipsilateral vertebral blood flow greatly decreased, and the amplitude the ipsilateral finger plethysmogram decreased slightly or moderately. It is suggested that there are significantly important factors in suppressing sumptoms of vertebrobasilar ischemia in these patients with Takayasu's arteritis with subclavian steal. These factors are believed to be (1) good function of the circle of Willis, (2) good blood supply to the brain stem, and (3) collateral circulation to the distal subclavian artery not via the vertebral artery.  (+info)

Major vascular anomalies in Turner syndrome: prevalence and magnetic resonance angiographic features. (5/58)

BACKGROUND: Turner syndrome (TS) is associated with aortic coarctation and dissection; hence, echocardiographic evaluation of all patients is currently recommended. X-ray angiography in clinically symptomatic patients has suggested a range of other vascular anomalies, but the true prevalence of such lesions in TS is unknown. To better understand the prevalence and pathogenesis of cardiovascular defects in TS, we prospectively evaluated a group of asymptomatic adult volunteers with TS using magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 85 adults with TS and 27 normal female adult volunteers underwent gadolinium-enhanced 3D MR angiography. A high prevalence of aortic anomalies was seen in women with TS, including elongation of the transverse arch (49%), aortic coarctation (12%), and aberrant right subclavian artery (8%). Venous anomalies were also prominent, including persistent left superior vena cava (13%) and partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (13%). None of these anomalies were found in healthy female controls. The constellation of elongation of the transverse arch, aortic coarctation, and persistent left superior vena cava was significantly associated with women with TS. Neck webbing and increased thoracic anterior-to-posterior dimension diameters were strong predictors for arterial and venous anomalies. CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic vascular anomalies are common in TS, occurring in approximately 50% of a group not preselected for cardiovascular disease. The highly significant association between neck webbing, increased chest diameter, and these vascular anomalies suggests that in utero, centrally localized lymphatic obstruction may contribute to these cardiovascular deformities in TS. Improved recognition of these often-undetected vascular lesions may be important for identification of patients in need of closer cardiovascular monitoring.  (+info)

Aortic root replacement with a freestyle stentless valve for aortitis syndrome with ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic regurgitation. (6/58)

A 47-year-old woman who had been diagnosed as having aortitis syndrome underwent aortic root replacement for an ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic regurgitation. Because the patient has been treated with steroids for more than 20 years, a Freestyle stentless valve was used to avoid the risk of valve detachment. There were no complications observed during the postoperative course. Although long-term follow-up will be necessary to observe the valve durability, the Freestyle stentless valve seems to be useful for aortic root replacement in patients at high risk of valve detachment due to aortitis syndrome.  (+info)

Protruding aortic arch thrombus: treatment with minimally invasive surgical approach. (7/58)

BACKGROUND: Protruding aortic arch thrombus is associated clinically with life-threatening emboli. Definitive treatment for aortic arch thrombus removal has demanded complicated vascular surgical procedures, with high morbidity and mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) enabled diagnosis of a protruding thrombus at the aortic arch in 5 patients, and a simultaneous lesion in the descending aorta in 1 patient. Four patients had visceral emboli, coinciding with peripheral emboli in 2 patients, and the fifth patient had peripheral and cerebral emboli. One patient had had ischemic stroke and femoral emboli a few months previously. Mean patient age was 51 years. None had clinical evidence of coronary or peripheral atherosclerotic occlusive disease. Risk factors included hypertension (n = 2), smoking (n = 4), and preexisting thrombophilia (n = 4). Five patients underwent TEE-guided aortic balloon thrombectomy from the arch with a 34-mm occluding balloon catheter. One patient also underwent balloon thrombectomy from the descending aorta with a 14F Foley catheter. Access into the aorta was obtained through the iliac artery (n = 4) during laparotomy because of visceral ischemia or through the transfemoral approach (n = 2). Previous procedures included superior mesenteric embolectomy (n = 3), segmental bowel resection (n = 1), splenectomy (n = 1), and peripheral arterial embolectomy n = 3). Real-time intraoperative TEE enabled visualization of the protruding thrombus and assisted with maneuvering of the balloon catheter. At completion peripheral thrombectomy thrombus material was retrieved in 4 patients. Postoperatively there were no clinically proved new procedure-related visceral emboli, and all patients received anticoagulant therapy thereafter. Follow-up TEE within 2 weeks and up to 7 years revealed no recurrent aortic arch thrombus. CONCLUSIONS: TEE-guided aortic balloon thrombectomy used in 6 procedures was effectively completed without visceral or peripheral ischemic complications. It enabled removal of the life-threatening source of emboli from the proximal aorta, thereby averting the need of major aortic surgery.  (+info)

Unusual vascular ring anomaly in a foal. (8/58)

A 2.5-month-old filly was presented with signs of esophageal obstruction. The filly was euthanized and postmortem examination revealed a vascular ring anomaly. The vascular ring anomaly was not caused by a persistent right aortic arch, which is the only vascular ring anomaly reported to occur in horses.  (+info)

Types of Aortic Arch Syndromes:

1. Turner Syndrome: A genetic disorder that affects females and is caused by a missing X chromosome. This condition can result in short stature, infertility, and heart defects, including aortic arch syndrome.
2. Down Syndrome: A genetic disorder that occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21. This condition can cause a range of symptoms, including heart defects such as aortic arch syndrome.
3. Williams Syndrome: A rare genetic disorder caused by a deletion of genetic material from chromosome 7. This condition is characterized by cardiovascular problems, including aortic arch syndrome.
4. Marfan Syndrome: An inherited disorder that affects the body's connective tissue, including the heart and blood vessels. This condition can cause aortic arch syndrome and other cardiovascular problems.
5. Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: A group of inherited disorders that affect the body's connective tissue, including the heart and blood vessels. This condition can cause aortic arch syndrome and other cardiovascular problems.

Symptoms of Aortic Arch Syndromes:

1. Chest pain or pressure
2. Shortness of breath
3. Dizziness or fainting
4. Pulse deficiency in the arms or legs
5. Blue discoloration of the skin (cyanosis)
6. Heart murmurs
7. Abnormal heart rhythms

Diagnosis of Aortic Arch Syndromes:

1. Physical examination and medical history
2. Electrocardiogram (ECG)
3. Echocardiography
4. Cardiac catheterization
5. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans

Treatment of Aortic Arch Syndromes:

1. Medications to control symptoms such as high blood pressure, heart failure, or abnormal heart rhythms
2. Surgery to repair or replace the aortic arch, including open-heart surgery or minimally invasive procedures
3. Monitoring and follow-up care to manage the condition and prevent complications.

Prognosis for Aortic Arch Syndromes:

The prognosis for aortic arch syndromes varies depending on the underlying cause of the condition, the severity of the symptoms, and the effectiveness of treatment. In general, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can improve the outlook for individuals with these conditions. However, without proper care, the condition can be life-threatening.

Symptoms of HLHS may include:

1. Blue tint to the skin, lips, and nails (cyanosis)
2. Rapid breathing
3. Fatigue
4. Poor feeding or inability to gain weight
5. Weak or absent pulse in the left arm or leg

Diagnosis of HLHS is typically made prenatally by ultrasound examination, and may also be confirmed after birth by echocardiogram or other diagnostic tests.

Treatment for HLHS usually involves a series of surgeries and catheterizations to repair or replace the affected heart structures. These procedures may include:

1. Shunt procedure: A small tube is placed between the right and left sides of the heart to allow oxygenated blood to flow to the underdeveloped left side.
2. Bidirectional Glenn procedure: A surgical procedure that connects the pulmonary artery to the aortic valve, allowing blood to be pumped to both the lungs and the body.
3. Fontan procedure: A surgical procedure that redirects blood flow from the upper body to the lungs, bypassing the underdeveloped left ventricle.
4. Heart transplantation: In some cases, a heart transplant may be necessary if other procedures are not successful or if there is significant damage to the heart.

Early detection and treatment of HLHS are crucial to prevent complications and improve outcomes. Children with HLHS require close monitoring and frequent medical evaluations throughout their lives to manage any potential issues that may arise. With appropriate treatment, many individuals with HLHS can lead active and productive lives well into adulthood.

Rare diseases can be caused by genetic mutations, infections, allergies, or other factors, and they can affect any part of the body. Some examples of rare diseases include cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, sickle cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs disease.

Because rare diseases are so uncommon, they often receive less attention and funding for research and treatment than more common conditions. However, there are organizations and resources available to support individuals with rare diseases and their families. These include patient advocacy groups, research foundations, and specialized healthcare providers.

Some of the key features of rare diseases include:

1. Low prevalence: Rare diseases affect a small percentage of the population, typically less than 1%.
2. Limited understanding: Many rare diseases are not well understood, and their causes and mechanisms are not yet fully understood.
3. Lack of effective treatments: There may be limited or no effective treatments for rare diseases, leading to a significant impact on quality of life.
4. High cost: Treatment for rare diseases can be expensive, and the financial burden can be significant for families and individuals affected.
5. Limited access to care: Due to the rarity of the disease, individuals may have limited access to specialized healthcare providers and resources.

Rare diseases are a significant public health concern, as they affect millions of people worldwide and can have a profound impact on their quality of life. There is a need for increased research, advocacy, and support for individuals with rare diseases and their families.

Types of congenital heart defects include:

1. Ventricular septal defect (VSD): A hole in the wall between the two lower chambers of the heart, allowing abnormal blood flow.
2. Atrial septal defect (ASD): A hole in the wall between the two upper chambers of the heart, also allowing abnormal blood flow.
3. Tetralogy of Fallot: A combination of four heart defects, including VSD, pulmonary stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve), and abnormal development of the infundibulum (a part of the heart that connects the ventricles to the pulmonary artery).
4. Transposition of the great vessels: A condition in which the aorta and/or pulmonary artery are placed in the wrong position, disrupting blood flow.
5. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS): A severe defect in which the left side of the heart is underdeveloped, resulting in insufficient blood flow to the body.
6. Pulmonary atresia: A condition in which the pulmonary valve does not form properly, blocking blood flow to the lungs.
7. Truncus arteriosus: A rare defect in which a single artery instead of two (aorta and pulmonary artery) arises from the heart.
8. Double-outlet right ventricle: A condition in which both the aorta and the pulmonary artery arise from the right ventricle instead of the left ventricle.

Causes of congenital heart defects are not fully understood, but genetics, environmental factors, and viral infections during pregnancy may play a role. Diagnosis is typically made through fetal echocardiography or cardiac ultrasound during pregnancy or after birth. Treatment depends on the type and severity of the defect and may include medication, surgery, or heart transplantation. With advances in medical technology and treatment, many children with congenital heart disease can lead active, healthy lives into adulthood.
