A method of delineating blood vessels by subtracting a tissue background image from an image of tissue plus intravascular contrast material that attenuates the X-ray photons. The background image is determined from a digitized image taken a few moments before injection of the contrast material. The resulting angiogram is a high-contrast image of the vessel. This subtraction technique allows extraction of a high-intensity signal from the superimposed background information. The image is thus the result of the differential absorption of X-rays by different tissues.

Disease pattern in cranial and large-vessel giant cell arteritis. (1/459)

OBJECTIVE: To identify variables that distinguish large-vessel giant cell arteritis (GCA) with subclavian/axillary/brachial artery involvement from cranial GCA. METHODS: Seventy-four case patients with subclavian/axillary GCA diagnosed by angiography and 74 control patients with temporal artery biopsy-proven GCA without large vessel involvement matched for the date of first diagnosis were identified. Pertinent initial symptoms, time delay until diagnosis, and clinical symptoms, as well as clinical and laboratory findings at the time of diagnosis, were recorded by retrospective chart review. Expression of cytokine messenger RNA in temporal artery tissue from patients with large-vessel and cranial GCA was determined by semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Distribution of disease-associated HLA-DRB1 alleles in patients with aortic arch syndrome and cranial GCA was assessed. RESULTS: The clinical presentation distinguished patients with large-vessel GCA from those with classic cranial GCA. Upper extremity vascular insufficiency dominated the clinical presentation of patients with large-vessel GCA, whereas symptoms related to impaired cranial blood flow were infrequent. Temporal artery biopsy findings were negative in 42% of patients with large-vessel GCA. Polymyalgia rheumatica occurred with similar frequency in both patient groups. Large-vessel GCA was associated with higher concentrations of interleukin-2 gene transcripts in arterial tissue and overrepresentation of the HLA-DRB1*0404 allele, indicating differences in pathogenetic mechanisms. CONCLUSION: GCA is not a single entity but includes several variants of disease. Large-vessel GCA produces a distinct spectrum of clinical manifestations and often occurs without involvement of the cranial arteries. Large-vessel GCA requires a different approach to the diagnosis and probably also to treatment.  (+info)

Percutaneous revascularization of atherosclerotic obstruction of aortic arch vessels. (2/459)

OBJECTIVES: To compare stenting of aortic arch vessel obstruction with surgical therapy and to establish recommendations for treatment. BACKGROUND: Though surgery has been considered to be the procedure of choice for subclavian and brachiocephalic obstruction, little work has been done to compare it with stenting. METHODS: Eighteen patients with symptomatic aortic arch vessel stenosis or occlusion were treated with stenting, followed by periodic clinical follow-up and noninvasive arterial Doppler studies. Data were compared with the results as shown in a systematic review of a published series of surgery and stenting procedures which included comparison of technical success, complications, mortality and patency. RESULTS: Primary success in our series was 100% with improvement in mean stenosis from 84+/-11% to 1+/-5% and mean arm systolic blood pressure difference from 44+/-16 mm Hg to 3+/-3 mm Hg. There were no major complications (death, stroke, TIA, stent thrombosis or myocardial infarction). At follow-up (mean 17 months), all patients were asymptomatic with 100% primary patency. Literature review demonstrates equivalent patency and complications in the other published series of stenting. In contrast, there was a similar patency but overall incidence of stroke of 3+/-4% and death of 2+/-2% in the published surgical series. CONCLUSIONS: Subclavian or brachiocephalic artery obstruction can be effectively treated by primary stenting or surgery. Comparison of stenting and the surgical experience demonstrates equal effectiveness but fewer complications and suggests that stenting should be considered as first line therapy for subclavian or brachiocephalic obstruction.  (+info)

Subclavian artery resection and reconstruction for thoracic inlet cancers. (3/459)

PURPOSE: We previously described an original transcervical approach to resect primary or secondary malignant diseases that invade the thoracic inlet (TI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the technical aspects and long-term results of the resection and revascularization of the subclavian artery (SA). METHODS: Between 1986 and 1998, 34 patients (mean age, 49 years) underwent en bloc resection of TI cancer that had invaded the SA. The surgical approach was an L-shaped transclavicular cervicotomy in 33 patients. In 14 of these patients, this approach was associated with a posterolateral thoracotomy (n = 10) or a posterior midline approach (n = 4). In one patient, the procedure was achieved with a single posterolateral thoracotomy approach. An end-to-end anastomosis was performed in 16 patients. In one patient, a subclavian-left common carotid artery transposition was performed. In one other patient, an end-to-end anastomosis was performed between the proximal innominate artery and the SA. The right carotid artery was transposed into the SA in an end-to-side fashion. In 16 patients, prosthetic revascularization with a polytetrafluoroethylene graft was performed. Thirty-three patients underwent postoperative radiation therapy. RESULTS: There were no cases of perioperative death, neurologic sequelae, graft infections or occlusions, or limb ischemia. There were two delayed asymptomatic polytetrafluoroethylene graft occlusions at 12 and 31 months. The 5-year patency rate was 85%. During this study, 20 patients died: 18 died of tumor recurrence (5 local and systemic and 13 systemic), one of respiratory failure, and one of an unknown cause at 74 months. The overall 5-year survival rate was 36%, and the 5-year disease-free survival rate was 18%. CONCLUSION: Tumor arterial invasion per se should not be a contraindication to TI cancer resection. This study shows that cancers that invade the SA can be resected through an L-shaped transclavicular cervicotomy, with good results with a concomitant revascularization of the SA.  (+info)

Left subclavian artery aneurysm: two cases of rare congenital etiology. (4/459)

Subclavian artery aneurysms are uncommon. The most common causes of these aneurysms are atherosclerosis and traumatic pseudoaneurysm. We report two cases of rare congenial left subclavian artery aneurysms. Diagnosis with aortography and treatment with resection with bypass grafting are the optimal approaches to avoid life-threatening and limb-threatening ischemia.  (+info)

Long-term results and outcomes of crossover axilloaxillary bypass grafting: A 24-year experience. (5/459)

OBJECTIVE: The outcome of crossover axilloaxillary bypass grafting in patients with stenosis or occlusion of the innominate or subclavian arteries was investigated. METHODS: The study was designed as a retrospective clinical study in a university hospital setting with 61 patients as the basis of the study. Fifty-eight patients (95.1%) had at least two risk factors or associated medical illnesses for atherosclerosis, and 35 patients (57.4%) had concomitant carotid artery stenosis that necessitated a staged procedure in 12 patients (19.7%). The patients underwent a total of 63 crossover axilloaxillary bypass grafting procedures. Demographics, risk factors and associated medical illnesses, preoperative symptoms and angiographic data, blood flow inversion in the vertebral artery, concomitant carotid artery disease, graft shape, caliber and material, and intraoperative and postoperative complications were studied to assess the specific influence in determining the outcome. RESULTS: One postoperative death (1.6%), four early graft thromboses (6.2%), and six minor complications (9. 8%) occurred. The overall mortality and morbidity rates were 1.6% and 16.1%, respectively. During the follow-up period (mean, 97.3 +/- 7.9 months), we observed five graft thromboses (8.3%). Primary and secondary patency rates at 5 and 10 years were 86.5% and 82.8% and 88.1% and 84.3%, respectively. Overall, two patients (3.3%) had recurrence of upper limb symptoms and none had recurrence of symptoms in the carotid or vertebrobasilar territory. The 5-year and 10-year symptom-free interval rates were 97.7% and 93.5%, respectively. Nine patients (15%) died of unrelated causes. The 5-year and 10-year survival rates were 93.2% and 67.3%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that no specific variables exerted an influence in the short-term and long-term results and the outcome. CONCLUSION: The optimal outcome of axilloaxillary bypass grafting supports its use as the most valuable surgical alternative to transthoracic anatomic reconstructions for innominate lesion, long stenosis of the subclavian artery, and short subclavian artery stenosis associated with ispilateral carotid artery lesions.  (+info)

Cervical vertebral and subclavian artery reconstructions. (6/459)

At our institution, endovascular treatment of subclavian artery (SA) or vertebral artery (VA) occlusive disease has been used as the treatment of first choice during the last years. Open procedures were performed only in cases of failed or unfeasible endovascular treatment or total occlusion of the proximal VA or SA, respectively. Nineteen open procedures were performed between 1992 and 1996. Proximal reconstructions included SA to common carotid artery (CCA) transpositions or bypasses and VA to CCA transpositions. Distal reconstructions included transposition techniques or direct reconstruction in a few cases of traumatic lesions. The operative procedure used two-channel transcranial Doppler monitoring for cases involving simultaneous CCA and SA or VA cross clamping. There was one technical failure of a distal VA reconstruction. No surgical complications occurred. The recent pertinent literature with regard to indications and techniques of SA and VA reconstructions is discussed.  (+info)

New arguments for a vasculitic nature of polymyalgia rheumatica using positron emission tomography. (7/459)

OBJECTIVE: To study the possible contribution of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis and polymyalgia rheumatica. METHODS: A consecutive case series consisting of five patients with polymyalgia rheumatica, six patients with temporal arteritis and 23 age-matched patients with other inflammatory conditions were evaluated with FDG-PET. Studies were performed before therapy with steroids was started. RESULTS: A total of 4/6 patients with giant cell arteritis and 4/5 patients with polymyalgia had increased FDG uptake in their thoracic vessels, compared to 1/23 controls (P < 0.001). Increased vascular FDG uptake in the upper legs was seen in 8/11 patients with giant cell arteritis or polymyalgia compared to 8/23 control patients (P < 0.05), and in the lower legs in 6/11 patients compared to 6/23 controls (P = not significant). CONCLUSIONS: FDG-PET scan is the first non-invasive technique which may indicate large-vessel vasculitis and which can show its extension throughout the body. It strongly suggests that polymyalgia rheumatica is a form of vasculitis.  (+info)

Migraine complicated by brachial plexopathy as displayed by MRI and MRA: aberrant subclavian artery and cervical ribs. (8/459)

This article describes migraine without aura since childhood in a patient with bilateral cervical ribs. In addition to usual migraine triggers, symptoms were triggered by neck extension and by arm abduction and external rotation; paresthesias and pain preceded migraine triggered by arm and neck movement. Suspected thoracic outlet syndrome was confirmed by high-resolution bilateral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the brachial plexus. An unsuspected aberrant right subclavian artery was compressed within the scalene triangle. The aberrant subclavian artery splayed apart the recurrent laryngeal and vagus nerves, displaced the esophagus anteriorly, and effaced the right stellate ganglia and the C8-T1 nerve roots. Scarring and fibrosis of the left scalene triangle resulted in acute angulation of the neurovascular bundle and diminished blood flow in the subclavian artery and vein. A branch of the left sympathetic ganglia was displaced as it joined the C8-T1 nerve roots. Left scalenectomy and rib resection confirmed the MRI and MRA findings; the scalene triangle contents were decompressed, and migraine symptoms subsequently resolved.  (+info)

This publication describes a hybrid endovascular and open surgical approach to treating a large aneurysm of an aberrant right subclavian artery (Kommerells diverticulum). A 76-year old man presented with dysphagia lusoria due to a 3.5 x 3.0 cm aneurysm involving an aberrant right subclavian artery. The patient was treated by a thoracic aortic endograft, left subclavian artery debranching (by its transposition to the left common carotid artery) and right subclavian artery revascularisation. This approach avoids the requirement for a thoracotomy or sternotomy needed with open surgical repair. At a 6 months follow-up assessment the aneurysm was shown to be thrombosed with no evidence of endoleak.. ...
INTRODUCTION: Floating thrombus in an aberrant right subclavian artery is a rare cause of peripheral arterial embolic events. CASE REPORT: We report a 45-year-old woman who presented with an ischemia of the right superior limb from embolic event. The diagnosis of mobile thrombus in an aberrant right subclavian artery was obtained with transoesophageal echocardiography and computed tomography. After three weeks of oral anticoagulant therapy, there was no significant resolution of the thrombus, and a surgical treatment was performed to prevent further embolization. The surgical procedure consisted of thrombectomy and reimplantation of the aberrant right subclavian artery to the right carotid artery. Postoperative recovery was uneventful. CONCLUSION: This case report illustrates that transoesophageal echography and computed tomography are useful to detect mobile thrombus of the thoracic aorta and is warranted in any embolic event in young patients.
Aberrant right subclavian arteries are the commonest of the aortic arch anomalies. A bulbous enlargement of the proximal segment of the aberrant right subclavian artery at its origin from the aortic arch is also demonstrated suggestive of Kommer...
Aberrant subclavian artery is a rare vascular anomaly that is present from birth. It usually causes no symptoms and is often discovered as an incidental finding (such as through a barium swallow or echocardiogram). Occasionally the anomaly causes swallowing difficulty (dysphagia lusoria). Swallowing symptoms in children may present as feeding difficulty and/or recurrent respiratory tract infection. When aberrant subclavian artery causes no symptoms, treatment is not needed. If the anomaly is causing significant symptoms, treatment may involve surgery. Children with symptomatic aberrant subclavian artery should be carefully evaluated for additional vascular and heart anomalies ...
Details of the image Dysphagia lusoria from aberrant left subclavian artery with Kommerell diverticulum Modality: Fluoroscopy (Frontal)
A 49-year-old man was incidentally found to have a right-sided descending thoracic aorta and multidetector computed tomography was performed. There was a right aortic arch with separate arch branches arising in the following order: left common carotid artery (Lt.CCA), right common carotid artery (Rt.CCA), right subclavian artery (Rt.SA), and left subclavian artery (Lt.SA), which was aberrant, all arising from a Kommerell diverticulum (KD) (1) and passing through the dorsal side of the trachea and esophagus. His coronary arteries had the dominant left circumflex artery and the hypoplastic right coronary artery. This anomaly is explained by atresia of left aortic arch between left carotid artery and left subclavian arteries in Edwards hypothetical double aortic arch (2) (type E). The left panelis a front view and the right panelis a back view. Separate arch branches and KD were recognized by these images. CRT = cranial; LAO = left anterior oblique.. ...
A two-year-old Border Collie presented with a three-month history of regurgitation. Investigation with plain radiography, digital fluoroscopy, endoscopy and CT angiography (CTA) confirmed the presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery causing dorsal oesophageal compression. In this report, CTA was used to depict the anatomy of an aberrant right subclavian vessel and to highlight the importance of this imaging modality to identify the structures involved in a vascular ring. This report also identifies a patient with a congenital vascular ring anomaly presenting with adult-onset regurgitation, which has been successfully managed with medical treatment. ...
The subclavian artery ( subclavian artery ) lies under the collarbone ( clavicle ) and supplies the entire blood supply to the arm. Some arteries for the head and neck area also branch off from it. The subclavian artery arises in humans, dogs and pigs on the left from the aortic arch and on the right from the brachiocephalic trunk . It is also located - surrounded by the nerve cords of the brachial plexus - between the anterior scalenus muscle and the medius scalenus muscle (posterior scalenus gap). The artery is also accompanied by the subclavian vein of the same name , which lies slightly below, between the anterior scalenus muscle and the clavicle (anterior scalenus gap). As soon as the subclavian artery is deeper than the lower edge of the collarbone on its way to the side, it is in the armpit and is then called the axillary artery . Along the way, there subclavian artery in humans first, the internal thoracic artery to the caudal and the vertebral artery to the cranial from; later the ...
A subclavian artery aneurysm associated with Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF 1) is extremely rare. We report a ruptured pseudo-aneurysm of the subclavian artery in a patient with NF 1 treated with endovascular surgery. A 51 year old man with NF 1 presented with initially sudden left neck pain and continuous dysphagia. Radiological examination showed a pseudo-aneurysm of the left subclavian artery. Endovascular stenting and coil embolisation was performed to prevent rebleeding and the lesion was completely obliterated. Follow-up angiography at 3 months revealed good flow through the stent without flow into the pseudo-aneurysm. Our patient is the first reported example of successful endovascular treatment for a ruptured subclavian artery pseudo-aneurysm associated with NF 1. Endovascular stenting and coil embolisation for the ruptured subclavian artery pseudo-aneurysm was very effective ...
Abstract: An unusual vascular ring anomaly consisting of a persistent right aortic arch and a left ligamentum arteriosum extending from the main pulmonary artery to an aberrant left subclavian artery and left aortic arch remnant complex was identified in a German shepherd dog and a great Dane. The left subclavian artery and left aortic arch remnant complex originated at the junction between the right distal aortic arch and the descending aorta and coursed dorsal to the oesophagus in a cranial direction. The attachment of the ligamentum arteriosum to the aberrant left subclavian artery was approximately 5 cm cranial to the point of origin of the aberrant left subclavian artery and left aortic arch remnant complex from the descending aorta in both dogs. This anomaly observed in both dogs is similar to an anomaly reported in humans, in which a persistent right aortic arch is found in conjunction with an aberrant left subclavian artery and a left aortic arch remnant (Kommerells diverticulum). ...
In human anatomy, the subclavian arteries are paired major arteries of the upper thorax, below the clavicle. They receive blood from the aortic arch. The left subclavian artery supplies blood to the left arm and the right subclavian artery supplies blood to the right arm, with some branches supplying the head and thorax. On the left side of the body, the subclavian comes directly off the aortic arch, while on the right side it arises from the relatively short brachiocephalic artery when it bifurcates into the subclavian and the right common carotid artery. The usual branches of the subclavian on both sides of the body are the vertebral artery, the internal thoracic artery, the thyrocervical trunk, the costocervical trunk and the dorsal scapular artery, which may branch off the transverse cervical artery which is a branch of the thyrocervical trunk. The subclavian becomes the axillary artery at the lateral border of the first rib. From its origin, the subclavian artery travels laterally, passing ...

A 65-year-old man presented to our hospital with a chief complaint of hoarseness. Chest radiography and computed tomography detected a right subclavian artery aneurysm. The aneurysm had a maximum diameter of 85 mm, and was associated with a mural thrombus and displacement of the trachea to the left, which led to airway stenosis. In case ventilatory insufficiency developed during anesthesia induction, an extracorporeal membrane oxygenator was prepared, followed by administration of anesthesia. Careful administration of anesthesia allowed for anesthesia management without the extracorporeal membrane oxygenator. We approached the periphery and the proximal portion of the aneurysm through a right subclavicular incision and partial median sternotomy, respectively. After excision of the aneurysm, we performed EPTFE prosthesis implantation. The patient fs postoperative course was uneventful, which led to postoperative improvement of the airway stenosis. The combination of a right subclavicular incision ...
Cannulation of a central venous catheter is sometimes associated with serious complications. When arterial cannulation occurs, attention must be given to removal of a catheter. A 62-year-old man was planned for emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair. After the induction of anesthesia, a central venous catheter was unintentionally inserted into the right subclavian artery. We planned to remove the catheter. Since we considered that surgical repair would be highly invasive for the patient, we decided to remove it using a percutaneous intravascular stent. A stent was inserted through the right axillary artery. The stent was expanded immediately after the catheter was removed. Post-procedural angiography revealed no leakage from the catheter insertion site and no occlusion of the right subclavian and vertebral arteries. There were no obvious hematoma or thrombotic complications. A catheter that has been misplaced into the right subclavian artery was safely removed using an intravascular stent.

Four patients were diagnosed with post-traumatic aneurysms including one iatrogenic aneurysm following fixation of a fractured clavicle; one patient experienced post-traumatic injury to subclavian artery; one with iatrogenic perforation of subclavian artery with bleeding into pleural cavity; and the last one with another iatrogenic injury resulting from attempts to place a central access line following surgical, restoration of patency within subclavian and axillary arteries. All patients underwent endovascular treatment with the use of self-expanding peripheral stentgrafts
In human anatomy, the subclavian arteries are two major arteries of the upper thorax (chest), below the clavicle (collar bone). They receive blood from the top (arch) of the aorta. The left subclavian artery supplies blood to the left arm and the right subclavian artery supplies blood to the right arm, with some branches supplying the head and thorax. On the left side of the body, the subclavian comes directly off the arch of aorta. On the right side of the body, the subclavian arises from the relatively short brachiocephalic artery (trunk) when it bifurcates into the subclavian and the right common carotid artery. The usual branches of the subclavian on both sides of the body are the vertebral artery, the internal thoracic artery, the thyrocervical trunk, the costocervical trunk and the dorsal scapular artery. The subclavian becomes the axillary artery at the lateral border of the first rib ...

The left subclavian artery arises directly from the arch of the aorta, while the right arises from the brachiocephalic artery. The left lies deeper, is longer and more vertical. The relations of the second and third portions of the subclavian artery are alike on both sides. In its second portion, the artery lies behind the anterior scalene and in front of the scalenus medius muscle. At this point, it rises highest above the clavicle, usually about two centimeters. It is covered by the skin, the superficial fascia, the platysma muscle, the superficial layer of the deep fascia, the clavicular origin of the sternomastoid muscle, the posterior process of the deep fascia, the phrenic nerve, and the anterior scalene muscle. Above it lies the lowest of the three cervical trunks of the brachial plexus of nerves. Behind it are the scalenus medius muscle and the apex of the lung and of the pleura. Below it are the pleura, while below and in front of it is the subclavian vein. This portion gives off only ...
Aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), also called lusorian artery, is a well known anatomical variant of the origin of the right subclavian artery, one of the most common congenital vascular abnormalities of the aortic arch (the prevalence among the population is 1-2% in according to different authors) [1-4]. Usually ARSA arises after the left subclavian artery and crosses the mediastinum behind the oesophagus and the trachea. For its particular position ARSA can cause compression to the close anatomical structures. Dysphagia lusoria is the most frequent symptom (in 10 % of cases). For the same reason the prolonged compression caused by medical devices such as nasogastric or endotracheal tubes on the arterial wall of the ARSA can cause severe injury, especially when an ARSA aneurysm is present. In rare cases it can lead up to an oesophageal fistula with profuse bleeding characterised by high mortality rate (till now less than 20 cases were reported in literature). In our case fistulisation ...

A 4-year-old boy was referred to our hospital for further treatment of pulmonary atresia (Fallot type), multiple systemic to pulmonary collateral arteries, and hypoplastic central pulmonary arteries. Echocardiography revealed cervical origin of the right subclavian artery, which originated close to the bifurcation of the internal and external carotid arteries (Figure 1, Movie I, and Movie II). The anomaly of the subclavian artery was confirmed with cardiac catheterization (Figure 2A, Movie III). In addition, the boy had dysmorphic features of conotruncal anomaly facies syndrome, and monosomy 22q11 was confirmed by cytogenetic testing. To improve antegrade perfusion of the hypoplastic central pulmonary arteries, the patient underwent creation of a central aortopulmonary shunt followed by interventional coil occlusion of a large collateral artery from the descending aorta. The postoperative course was complicated by formation of a seroma of the polytetrafluoroethylene shunt, diagnosed by computed ...

Congenital aortocaval fistula in association with complex congenital heart disease has never been described before. We represent an adult with tetralogy of fallot and an undiagnosed subclavian artery to superior vena cava fistula in previous catheterisms. He underwent surgical correction, successfully. After 8 months post operation he was doing well with improved functional capacity and no cyanosis.
Four vessels arise sequentially from the aortic arch: the right common carotid artery, the left common carotid artery, the left subclavian artery and the aberrant right subclavian artery, which crosses upwards and to the right in the posterior mediastinum. It results from a disruption in the complex remodelling of the paired branchial arches, typically of the right dorsal aorta distal to the sixth cervical intersegmental artery. [1, 2 ...

Kutsche and Van Mierop4 described CORSA in 1984. They found this anomaly in 4 of 21 infants (19%) studied for aortic arch interruption. The origin of the vessel was seen along with the origins of the internal and external carotid arteries as a trifurcation, at the level of the thyroid gland. It then descended down the neck to enter the right arm. The right recurrent laryngeal nerve was seen to course around the origin of the right subclavian artery, much higher than normal. The pathogenesis of CORSA can be explained by impairment of fourth aortic arch development, before the involution of the right ductus caroticus (segment of the dorsal aorta between the third and fourth arches). The right ductus caroticus, which normally involutes at the 14-mm crown-rump length, is retained and forms the initial segment of the right subclavian artery at its origin from the common carotid bifurcation. The seventh intersegmental artery and the dorsal aorta below the level of the third arch form the rest of the ...

Right aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery (RAA/aLSCA) is a rare aortic arch anomaly. The clinical association of aLSCA stenosis with RAA/aLSCA has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the diagnosis, incidence, management and outcome of aLSCA stenosis in infants with prenatally diagnosed RAA/aLSCA. Ten fetuses who were diagnosed as having RAA/aLSCA in Kyushu University Hospital between January 2011 and December 2014 were enrolled. The maternal and child medical records were reviewed to investigate sex, gestational age at the fetal diagnosis, gestational age and body weight at birth, the findings of computed tomography (CT), Doppler ultrasonography of the vertebral artery and angiography, and the complications and outcomes of aLSCA stenosis ...

Angiographies of the supra-aortic vessels by magnetic imaging have become common recently. So it was the purpose of this study to evaluate the imaging potential of different contrast agents.. Three contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging are compared in angiographies of the supra-aortic arteries in a intraindividual study of 10 patients.. All applications of these contrast agents are performed with a flow of 2 ml/s. One contrast medium is applicated a second time with a reduced flow of 1 ml/s.. The angiographies of the supra-aortic vessels are evaluated by two experienced readers in a consensus reading. The signal/noise- and contrast/noise-ratio of anatomic vessel segments of the carotic and vertebral arteries are measured and compared to each other. ...
The CX Aortic Edited Cases session yesterday provided the unique opportunity for the audience to interact with experts and ask questions about the cases being presented. The first session focused on thoracic aortic cases and the remainder were abdominal aortic cases.. Michael Dake (Stanford, USA) presented a case with the TAG thoracic branch endoprosthesis (Gore) which is part of a US feasibility multicentre trial that has evaluated 22 patients (mean age 74.1±10.5 years, 54.5% male) undergoing branched thoracic endovascular aortic repair (B-TEVAR) in Ishimaru zone 2.. According to Dake, the endograft features a single side branch designed to facilitate aortic coverage proximal to the left subclavian artery, while maintaining branch vessel patency. Pathology treated included fusiform (n=10) or saccular (n=12) aneurysm, with a mean aortic diameter of 5.7±1.1cm.. Reporting on the progress of the trial, he said that the primary endpoints of device delivery and branch vessel patency was achieved in ...

Subclavian artery stenosis (SAS) is a significant form of peripheral artery disease, which may be a marker of diffuse atherosclerosis and increased risk for cardiovascular events. SAS can lead to symptomatic ischemia affecting the upper extremities, the brain, and, in some cases, the heart. In general, asymptomatic subclavian artery disease is treated with medical therapy and invasive treatment is reserved for the more symptomatic patients. This article discusses the evaluation of four patients with varying presentations of subclavian artery disease. [Rev Cardiovasc Med.
Transradial approach has gained progressive acceptance because it has been shown to have fewer hemorrhagic and vascular-related complications than the femoral approach does for diagnostic and therapeutic percutaneous coronary artery procedures. However, transradial access is not free of complications (1). A 43-year-old man was admitted with a non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome. A transradial coronary angiography was performed, followed by a drug-eluting stent implantation in the proximal descendent artery. Twenty-four hours after the procedure, he experienced an intense, continuous chest pain in his right upper hemi-thorax that irradiated to the right forearm, without electrocardiographic changes or elevated markers of myocardial damage, and required a high dose of analgesia. A computed tomogram was performed, revealing a subclavian artery pseudoaneurysm that compressed the brachial plexus (Figs. 1A to 1D). A few days later, an endovascular covered self-expanding stent was ...
A 68-year-old hypertensive man was admitted to our center for a non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome with normal troponin value. The clinical history was remarkable for enabliting pain of the left upper arm. After a positive stress test, the patient was scheduled for coronary angiography. The coronary angiography revealed severe 3-vessel coronary artery disease and a slight impairment of left ventricular function. Because the patient appeared to be a candidate for coronary surgery via the left internal mammary artery, a subclavian artery angiography was performed in the same session to exclude any subclavian artery stenosis and assess the suitability of the internal mammary artery as an arterial conduit. A tight stenosis of the middle portion of the left subclavian artery was detected (Figure, A). Because we believed that the patient had thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), the patients left arm was mildly adducted and a magnified subclavian angiogram performed. The angiogram revealed that the ...

Isolated fracture of a first rib (IFFR) is uncommon. Complications connected with the first rib fracture include: brachial plexus damage, haematoma of the upper thorax and haemo- or pneumothorax. We describe the case of a patient with subclavian artery thrombosis after an isolated fracture of a first rib. Her medical history did not include any previous illnesses, she did not take any medicines or contraceptives. The case presented hereby proves that the initial lack of clear clinical symptoms does not mean that the damage of subclavian artery has not occured ...
All patients with risk factors and those with a clinical presentation suggestive of PAD should undergo a comprehensive vascular exam from head to toe. The routine vascular exam should start with blood pressure measurement, performed in both arms to assess for significant subclavian artery stenosis. A systolic blood pressure difference of , 15 to 20 mmHg between the two arms should suggest subclavian artery stenosis. The carotid and subclavian arteries should also be auscultated for the presence for bruits. The abdominal aorta should be palpated to assess for abdominal aortic aneurysm. The abdominal vascular exam should include auscultation for bruits, which are occasionally present in patients with renal artery stenosis. Rarely, a bruit may also be heard in patients with celiac and mesenteric artery stenosis.. The lower extremity vascular examination should be performed with the patient in a supine position. The assessment should include inspection of the skin for discoloration, pallor, hair ...

The second case also shows obliteration of the upper knob due to the enlarged left subclavian artery (B, red arrow). MRI depicts the area of narrowing (C, white arrow), and the dilated left subclavian artery (C, yellow arrow). Rib notching is evident (D, arrows). Aortic pseudocoarctation is an uncommon malformation in which there is kinking of the aorta distal to the subclavian artery, without narrowing. The appearance on plain films is similar to that of true coarctation (Fig. 9). There is no significant obstruction and no gradient across the kinking. Patients do not have hypertension or rib notching.. ...
Results Thirty patients underwent LSA embolization during TEVAR. Six CCEs in 6 patients were performed from June 2013 to November 2013, while twenty-four CAEs in 24 patients were performed from December 2013 to March 2016. Technical success was achieved in all patients in both groups. No embolization-related complications or type II endoleaks from LSA were recorded during the follow-up period in all patients. In both groups, all embolic materials were detected in the proximal portion of the LSA from the LSA orifice to the vertebral artery origin and no vertebral artery occlusions were detected. The mean compression ratio of AVP II was 58 ± 5.9% of predicted length of standard procedure. In the CAE group, one AVP II was sufficient to achieve complete LSA occlusion in all patients. On the other hand, multiple coils (10.2 ± 2.7) were used in the CCE group (P , .01), resulting in a significantly lower cost incurred in the CAE group (CAE: 129,000 JPY vs. CCE: 639,600 ± 140,060 JPY; P , .01 ...
Supra-aortic trunks (TSA) showing the collateral branches of the aorta from the aortic arch, the brachiocephalic arterial trunk, the left common carotid artery (centre), the subclavian artery, which supply blood to the upper body. Magnetic resonance angiography. - Stock Image C035/3649
The arterial supply to the upper limb begins in the chest as the subclavian artery. The right subclavian artery arises from the brachiocephalic trunk, while the left subclavian branches directly off the arch of aorta.
Animals were sedated with ketamine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg IM initially and supplemental doses as needed) and anesthetized with pentobarbital (20 mg/kg IV). Studies were performed under sterile conditions in an animal catheterization laboratory. A polyethylene catheter with multiple side holes and a 60° directional Doppler ultrasound transducer was inserted via an arteriotomy into the right axillary artery. The catheter was passed retrogradely under fluoroscopic visualization to the origin of the right subclavian artery, ie, to the bifurcation of the right brachiocephalic artery into the right common carotid and subclavian arteries. Mean and phasic arterial pressure and Doppler frequency were recorded continuously. Cineangiograms of the right internal carotid artery were obtained in a projection that was 45° to the anteroposterior plane. Power injections of nonionic contrast (iohexol, Sanofi-Winthrop Pharmaceuticals) were made at a rate of 15 mL/s through the catheter in the brachiocephalic ...

A 4-month-old, 2.4-kg female infant with medically refractory heart failure underwent uneventful surgical repair of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect, a secundum atrial septal defect, and a vascular ring (right aortic arch, aberrant left subclavian artery, left posterior patent ductus arteriosus). Surgery was uneventful, but 6 hours after surgery, in the intensive care unit, transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) examination revealed a small echodensity along the right atrial free wall. Repeated TTE examination 18 hours later showed the echodense mass nearly obliterating the right atrial cavity (Fig. 1) (video clip; see supplemental data on www.anesthesia-analgesia.org). Heparin therapy was initiated for a presumed right atrial thrombus. The infant remained hemodynamically stable without evidence of compromised cardiac output. Due to unchanged echocardiographic findings, mediastinal exploration was performed on postoperative day 3. Surgical exploration unexpectedly revealed a large ...
The brachiocephalic trunk supplies blood to the right arm and right side of the head, including the brain. The left common carotid artery supplies blood to the left side of the head, also including the brain. Finally, the left subclavian artery carries blood to the left arm.. The descending aorta carries blood through the thoracic and abdominal cavities of the body until it splits into the left and right common iliac arteries, which supply blood to the legs. The descending aorta is broken down into two sections - the thoracic aorta and abdominal aorta - named after the body cavities that it passes through. The abdominal aorta branches off into many smaller arteries that feed the major abdominal organs.. ...
BACKGROUND: As the population ages and peoples living standards gradually improve, the incidence of cerebrovascular disease in China is increasing annually, posing a serious threat to peoples health. The incidence of brachiocephalic artery stenosis in ischemic cerebrovascular disease is relatively low, accounting for 0.5% to 2% of patients, but its consequences are very serious. Herein, we report a case of brachiocephalic artery stenting through the carotid artery. CASE SUMMARY: The patient was a 66-year-old man. He came to our hospital because of repeated dizziness and was diagnosed with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (stenosis at the beginning of the brachiocephalic artery). Cerebral angiography suggested that the stenosis of the brachiocephalic artery had almost occluded it. Contrast agent threaded a line through the stenosis, and there was reversed blood flow through the right vertebral artery to compensate for the subclavian steal syndrome in the right subclavian artery. To improve the ...

AU - Davies, Mark G.. PY - 2008/10/1. Y1 - 2008/10/1. N2 - Purpose: To examine the evolving roles of endovascular and open approaches in treatment of symptomatic innominate artery (IA) disease. Methods: Patients treated for symptomatic IA lesions with or without involvement of the right common carotid and/or right subclavian arteries between 1997 and 2006 were identified. Charts and diagnostic studies were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Of 18 patients treated, 8 required open reconstruction. Ten patients with high-grade focal stenosis were stented. Immediate technical and clinical success was 100% among all patients. Mean follow-up time was 25 and 27 months for endovascular and open interventions, respectively. The primary patency rates were 78% ± 14 and 80% ± 10 for endovascular and open groups, ...

A six-month-old girl presented with inspiratory stridor, difficulty feeding, and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. On evaluation, she had a double aortic arch forming a vascular ring, compressing the esophagus and trachea. Surgical division of the vascular ring was planned to relieve the compression of the esophagus and trachea. A left posterolateral thoracotomy was done. The vascular ring was identified and divided distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery. The ductus arteriosus was also excised. After division, the compression of esophagus and trachea were relieved, and the patient was extubated on the second postoperative day. She was discharged home on the eighth postoperative day. The child is now asymptomatic.. ...

The patient was a 19 year-old woman with the diagnosis of resistant hypertension, although she was under treatment of three classes of anti-hypertensive drugs (beta blocker, angiotensin receptor blocker, diuretic) for more than one year. In physical examination there was only a significant difference between the systolic blood pressure of upper and lower extremities (200 vs. 120 mmHg), without any other remarkable finding. Three different imaging modalities (echocardiography (Figure 1), CT angiography (Figure 2), conventional aortography (Figure 3) confirmed the aortic coarctation at 30 mm after left subclavian artery origin, with the 3.5-4 mm diameter of the narrowest segment. She underwent implantation of a self-expanding aortic stent and therefore the systolic pressure gradient decreased from 90 to 15 mmHg. After three months, her blood pressure was stable on 110/80 mmHg, while she received only metoprolol 25 mg twice daily and follow-up echocardiography showed 15-20 mmHg pressure gradient through
The descending thoracic aorta arises from the aortic arch just after the origin of the left subclavian artery, at the inferior border of the fourth thoracic vertebrae. This point of transition is termed the aortic isthmus. In adults, the average diameter of the descending thoracic aorta is 2.8 cm in men and 2.6 cm in women.2 This narrows as it descends into the abdomen. It terminates as it enters the abdomen via the diaphragmatic aortic hiatus, at the 12th intercostal space. The thoracic aorta descends in the posterior mediastinum to the left of the vertebral column and gradually shifts to the midline at the aortic hiatus. It is surrounded by the thoracic aortic plexus. Anteriorly, the left pulmonary hilum crosses with the left main bronchus and left pulmonary artery being closely associated. Continuing inferiorly, the esophagus, pericardium, and diaphragm are also situated at the anterior border of the thoracic aorta. As the thoracic aorta descends, the esophagus crosses anteriorly and then ...
The right common carotid artery arises from the brachiocephalic. The left common carotid usually arises as the second arch vessel. The common carotids normally have no branches. The first branch of the subclavian artery on each side are the vertebral arteries, which ascend posterior to the carotids. Notes ...
Doppler echocardiography detected peak gradients of 78 mm Hg across the coarctation segment. On cardiac catheterisation pull back aortic gradients of 80 mm Hg were recorded. Angiocardiography showed severe coarctation of the aorta just distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery and a huge postcoarctation aortic aneurysm (open arrow) with calcification in its wall (closed arrow). Findings were confirmed during surgery and the patient was treated successfully by resection of coarctation segment as well as postcoarctation aneurysm with graft tube interposition. She made an uneventful recovery.. ...

She was referred to our centre for a CT-guided biopsy of the mass, which was scheduled approximately 4 weeks after her presenting symptoms. Prior to the procedure, she underwent transthoracic echocardiography in view of her prior history of ischaemic heart disease. Echocardiography demonstrated an akinetic left ventricular apex consistent with her previous myocardial infarction. Suprasternal and left supraclavicular imaging revealed a well-circumscribed, echolucent structure measuring 30mm x 17mm adjacent to the superior aspect of the distal aortic arch. Blood flow within the structure could not be demonstrated on colour Doppler imaging (figure 2). The ostium of the left subclavian vein could not be visualised and an aneurysm of either the left subclavian artery or distal aortic arch was suspected ...
The cerebral circulation was interrupted for periods of three to eighty-one minutes by ligation of the innominate and left subclavian arteries proximal to the origin of the vertebral, in ninety-three cats. Eleven dogs were used in the earlier experiments.. The eye reflexes disappear very quickly and a period of high blood pressure follows the occlusion immediately; vagus inhibition causes cardiac slowing and a fall in blood pressure, followed by a second rise after the vagus center succumbs to anaemia. Respiration stops temporarily (twenty to sixty seconds) after the beginning of occlusion, and then follows a series of strong gasps of the Cheyne-Stokes type, after which it stops until some time after the restoration of the cerebral circulation. The respiratory and vagus centers lose their power of functioning at approximately the same time. Asphyxial slowing of the heart may occur without the agency of the vagus center. The blood pressure slowly falls to a level which is maintained throughout ...
Its certain he died a violent death: In 2007, CT scans showed that an arrowhead had lacerated his left subclavian artery. But a CAT scan of the mummys brain and a paleoproteomic study have recently pointed to a cerebral trauma - a violent blow to the head - as the cause of death ...
The axillary artery, a continuation of the subclavian artery, begins at the first ribs outer border and ending normally at the inferior border of the Teres major muscle and continuing further distally as Brachial artery. The axillary artery has several branches that supplies axillary region. Several variations about the Axillary artery and its branches were have been reported. In this case, from the second part of this artery, we found a common trunk between Lateral thoracic and Subscapular arteries. Other branches of subscapular also has been separated from this trunk ...

When you look at the vessels of the upper body I want you to think about where the blood is coming from, and where it has to go. First of all, remember how blood leaves the heart in a single vessel? Well, since most of the body is below the heart, the aorta arches downward (in a part called the aortic arch, of course) almost immediately after it leaves the heart. At the top of the arch, however, the blood for the upper body leaves the aorta. The only problem is that there are only three vessels to go four places: the right arm, the right side of the head, the left arm, and the left side of the head. The names of the three branches provide a clue as to their destinations.. On each side of the neck there is a major artery-which you feel for when you take your pulse-called the carotid artery (left and right, of course). There are also branches that go to each arm; these branches are called subclavian arteries. (Guess what bone they go under? Yup! The clavicle!) Since the aortic arch is more on the ...
