  2. Aortic rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_rupture

    Aortic rupture is a rare, extremely dangerous condition that is considered a medical emergency. [1] The most common cause is an abdominal aortic aneurysm that has ruptured spontaneously. Aortic rupture is distinct from aortic dissection , which is a tear through the inner wall of the aorta that can block the flow of blood through the aorta to ...

  3. Aortic dissection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_dissection

    Chest trauma leading to aortic dissection can be divided into two groups based on cause: blunt chest trauma (commonly seen in car accidents) and iatrogenic. Iatrogenic causes include trauma during cardiac catheterization or due to an intra-aortic balloon pump. [citation needed] Aortic dissection may be a late sequela of heart surgery. About 18% ...

  4. Traumatic aortic rupture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_aortic_rupture

    A study of people who died after traumatic aortic rupture found that in 55–65% of cases the damage was at the aortic isthmus and in 10–14% it was in the ascending aorta or aortic arch. [4] An angiogram will often show an irregular outpouching beyond the takeoff of the left subclavian artery at the aortic isthmus, representing an aortic ...

  5. Aortic aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_aneurysm

    An aortic aneurysm can rupture from wall weakness. Aortic rupture is a surgical emergency and has a high mortality even with prompt treatment. Weekend admission for a ruptured aortic aneurysm is associated with increased mortality compared with admission on a weekday, and this is likely due to several factors including a delay in prompt ...

  6. Open aortic surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_aortic_surgery

    Open aortic surgery (OAS) is used to treat patients with aortic aneurysms greater than 5.5 cm in diameter, to treat aortic rupture of an aneurysm any size, to treat aortic dissections, and to treat acute aortic syndrome. It is used to treat infrarenal aneurysms, as well as juxta- and pararenal aneurysm, thoracic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms ...

  7. Arterial dissections - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_dissections

    Arterial dissections become life-threatening when growth of the false lumen prevents perfusion of the true lumen and the related end organs. For example, in an aortic dissection, if the left subclavian artery orifice were distal to the origin of the dissection, then the left subclavian would be said to be perfused by the false lumen, while the left common carotid (and its end organ, the left ...

  8. Thoracic aortic aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_aortic_aneurysm

    Contrast enhanced CT of a ruptured large (7 cm) thoracic aneurysm, with black arrow indicating the aorta, and white arrow blood in the thorax. The principal causes of death due to thoracic aneurysmal disease are dissection and rupture. Once rupture occurs, the mortality rate is 50–80%.

  9. Bentall procedure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentall_procedure

    The Bentall procedure is a type of cardiac surgery involving composite graft replacement of the aortic valve, aortic root, and ascending aorta, with re-implantation of the coronary arteries into the graft. This operation is used to treat combined disease of the aortic valve and ascending aorta, including lesions associated with Marfan syndrome.
