Introduction: Three-dimensional (3D) printing has become an affordable tool for assisting heart surgeons in the aorta endovascular field, both surgical planning, education and training of residents students.This technique permits construction physical prototypes from conventional medical images by converting anatomical information into computer aided design (CAD) files.Objective: To present 3D feature on developing leading to improved aortic as well transcatheter valve implantation, mainly...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been established as the treatment of choice for severe stenosis in high risk well patients above 75 years-old all spectrums. Despite its worldwide adoption, implementation lower-middle-income countries such Brazilian public health system (SUS, acronym Portuguese) is incipient. This study aimed to evaluate TAVI exclusively within SUS patients. was prospective cohort a tertiary hospital southern Brazil. All who underwent between 2018 and 2024...
The aim of this study is to analyze the immediate and late evolution for death reintervention in a thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) group, over follow-up period 112 months. Retrospective data 255 patients, from 1998 2007, were obtained. most prevalent diseases aneurysms (89), abdominal (85) dissections (61). mean age was 63.2 years 67.1% male. Three hundred three endoprostheses used. Causes morbidity, postoperative period, hyperthermia (45.9%), endoleaks (9.8% – being 7.1% type...
Objective: To evaluate our experience following the introduction of a percutaneous program for endovascular treatment aortic diseases using Perclose Proglide® assessing efficacy, complications and identification potential risk factors that could predict failure or major access site complications.Methods: A retrospective cohort study during two-year period was performed.All patients submitted to totally repair (PEVAR) transcatheter valve implantation since we started total approach with...
Endovascular procedures are increasing in number for the treatment of thoracic aortic diseases (TAD). Retrograde approach through femoral artery is preferred vascular access. Despite improvements devices, complications still occurs and some times this access not possible because small size vessels, obstruction, calcification, dissection or extreme tortuosity. An axillary could be an alternative. We present a series five patients describe technique we used to treat TAD. There were two...
Statins have anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties irrespective of their cholesterol-lowering effects. The aim the present study was to evaluate a simvastatin-eluting stent (SimvES) in treatment de novo coronary lesions.Forty-two patients with artery lesions were assigned SimvES, bare-metal (BMS) or everolimus-eluting (EES) implantation followed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for neointimal quantitative analysis. Six months later, angiography (QCA) IVUS repeated. QCA showed...
Abstract Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is an uncommon pathology and a challenge in high‐risk patients who undergo conventional surgery because high operative morbidity mortality. Endovascular exclusion aortic pseudoaneurysm using endoprosthesis less invasive approach, but few such cases have been reported. Moreover, use this approach poses unique therapeutic challenges there no specific for repair, particularly to treat with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). We describe...
Regardless the successful treatment of descending aorta with endovascular prosthesis, for ascending segment, because several anatomic and physiologic issues, this technique has been considered an alternative only high-risk or inoperable patients. Despite restricted indications, hundreds treatments have performed worldwide, demonstrating its safety reproducibility if it is done in high-quality centers. Therefore, understanding patients' selection criteria limitations are critical to application.
O rim em ferradura é uma anomalia congênita rara que pode causar várias dificuldades técnicas durante a correção convencional de aneurisma aorta abdominal. Relatamos o caso paciente 68 anos com ferradura, abdominal sintomático e disfunção renal leve. A foi submetida endovascular, sendo utilizada endoprótese bifurcada. pós-operatório livre complicações. diagnóstico técnica endovascular são discutidos, assim como literatura revisada.
We report the case of a 42-year-old female with second recurrence cardiac myxoma. Her first diagnosis was at age 24 years, when tumors were withdrawn from her right ventricle and left atrium. 36 removed atria, ventricle. Six years later, patient admitted to Hospital das Clínicas de Porto Alegre complaining sudden dyspnea, dry cough, pain in hypochondrium, which bore no relation breathing. The transesophageal echocardiography showed small tumor interatrial septum, close superior vena cava, 2...
Endovascular treatment of ascending aorta pseudoaneurysms with coronary stents implantation at the same procedure was feasible, although longer followup is necessary.
OBJETIVO: O estudo visa a apresentar os resultados curto e médio prazo do tratamento endovascular dos aneurismas de aorta abdominal (AAA). Trata-se uma experiência inicial com equipe multidisciplinar. MÉTODO: No período entre julho 2003 outubro 2005, 42 pacientes foram submetidos doenças da aorta, sendo 25 por A idade média foi 74 ± 10,2 anos 92% eram sexo masculino. Os procedimentos realizados multidisciplinar, no Hospital Clínicas Porto Alegre Luterano (ULBRA). Vinte quatro à colocação...
Symptomatic occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery can be treated by open repair, hybrid procedure, or endovascular revascularization. In most cases, procedures are done antegrade approach. We report a case 67-year-old woman who presented with acute-on-chronic ischemia successfully retrograde recanalization an occluded common hepatomesenteric trunk through inferior and arc Riolan.
Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital anomaly. We report case of 78-year-old woman with this condition and ischemic coronary artery disease who underwent myocardial revascularization. The cardiac catheterism showed severe proximal stenosis aneurysms in the anterior interventricular branch, diagonal artery, right artery. procedure was done surgeon positioned left hand side patient, internal thoracic anastomosed to two more vein grafts. Very few cases have been reported world third...
OBJETIVO: Avaliar as alterações ultra-estruturais de dois tipos cardioplegia (com e sem procaína) em corações pacientes submetidos a troca valvar aórtica eletiva. MÉTODOS: Foram estudados 18 circulação extracorpórea para valvular eletiva, no Hospital Clínicas Porto Alegre num período 10 meses. Cada paciente foi distribuído aleatoriamente grupos: grupo A - oito que receberam solução cardioplégica procaína; B Dez com procaína. Em ambos os grupos, o saco pericárdico irrigado salina hipotérmica....
