Anomalous left internal mammary artery arising from an aberrant artery of the aorta in a patient with "pseudo bovine" aortic arch anatomy.

Project description:Many different aortic arch variants have been documented before. Pseudo bovine arch is the most common variant of the aortic arch. Pseudo bovine arch with other factors such as stenosis and calcification impose great difficulties even for experienced cardiologists. Knowledge of anatomical variants is useful information for interventional cardiologist, radiologist, and thoracic surgeons. Left vertebral artery left internal mammary artery (LIMA) alterations have been published a few times before, but here we present a first case to our knowledge with LIMA arising from an aberrant arterial branch of the aorta in a patient with a pseudo bovine aortic arch anatomy. <Learning objective: Variations of the aortic arch are due to alteration in the development of branchial arch arteries during embryonic period. Learn about left internal mammary artery arising from an aberrant arterial branch of the aorta in a patient with a pseudo bovine aortic arch anatomy.>.

Right Aortic Arch Associated with Left Internal Carotid Artery Agenesis.

Project description:We report the rare case of a right aortic arch associated with agenesis of the left internal carotid artery. A 75-year-old woman with a medical history of tetralogy of Fallot presented with dizziness. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed agenesis of the left internal carotid artery in addition to a previously diagnosed right aortic arch. The left common carotid artery was present, but it was thin. Computed tomography showed the absence of the left carotid canal. The left anterior cerebral artery was fed via the anterior communicating artery. The left middle cerebral artery was fed via a thickened posterior communicating artery originating from the left posterior cerebral artery. Although a right aortic arch and agenesis of the internal carotid artery are both very rare, association of the two conditions may occur. Both anomalies depend on the abnormal regression of the dorsal aorta during embryonic development. In such a situation, the presence of other anomalies in the cardiac or central nervous system should be taken into consideration.

DiGeorge syndrome and anomalous right aortic arch with arch-on-arch and figure-of-eight configurations: Aortic sac maldevelopment and left brachiocephalic artery abnormal remodeling.

Project description:We report a 6-month-old female infant with deletion of chromosome 22q11.2 (DiGeorge/VFS TUPLE 1), normal atrial arrangement with concordant atrioventricular connection, pulmonary atresia, large subaortic ventricular septal defect, diminutive native pulmonary arteries, a characteristic weird-shape right aortic arch with arch-on-arch appearance and figure of 8 configuration. We presented the cardiac computed tomographic angiographic and cardiac angiographic features. Using Autodesk 3ds Max 2018 software, we explained and illustrated the speculative embryologic etiology of this bizarre aortic archanomaly with the extensive abnormal remodeling of the left brachiocephalic artery, based on a "five-embryonic aortic arches" concept. As to the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a genetically confirmed case of DiGeorge syndrome and an exceedingly rare type of right aortic arch anomaly with embryologic explanation according to the "five-embryonic-aortic-arches" concept. It seems that the constellation of pulmonary atresia, bizarreshaped right aortic arch due to abnormal development of the aortic sac, and abnormal remodeling of the left brachiocephalic artery may be strongly suggestive of DiGeorge syndrome.

Management of the left subclavian artery during aortic arch replacement using a frozen elephant trunk approach: a review.

Project description:The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for total aortic arch replacement extends repair into the proximal portion of the descending thoracic aorta. Several techniques and modifications of total arch replacement have been described in the literature, and many of these iterations are related to facilitating the distal anastomosis while preserving flow to the left subclavian artery (LSCA), as well as maintaining posterior circulation of the brain via the vertebral artery, by reducing the circulatory arrest time during reconstruction. Because of the LSCA's posterior and deep anatomic location in the chest, particularly in obese patients, this revascularization is often challenging; additional concerns regarding LSCA revascularization include patients with large aortic arch aneurysms, those with dissected or calcified arteries, and reoperation. A careful plan for reconstruction is necessary. Whether revascularization is performed preoperative, intraoperative, or postoperatively, every effort should be made to include the left subclavian artery as part of the operational approach. Revascularization techniques include reimplantation as part of the island patch or direct anastomosis, stenting, bypass, transposition or a hybrid approach. The importance of maintaining circulation of the LSCA cannot be overstated. Preserving flow to the spinal cord via collaterals minimizes the risk of cord injury during FET procedure. In patients with a patent left internal mammary artery bypass, left arm arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis, dominant circulation, or direct aortic origin of the left vertebral artery, revascularization is necessary as well. In the case of initial sacrifice, arm claudication or steal syndrome usually dictates delayed extra-anatomic revascularization in the postoperative period.

Anomalous Origins of the Bilateral Vertebral Arteries Arising from the Aortic Arch: A Case Report.

Project description:Various anomalous origins of the vertebral arteries (VAs) have been reported. However, anomalous origins of the bilateral VAs arising directly from the aortic arch are extremely rare. We encountered a 60-year-old male who developed sudden-onset right hemiparesis with an incidentally discovered rare origins of the bilateral VAs from aortic arch. CT angiography demonstrated the right VA originating from the aortic arch distal to the left subclavian artery and left VA originating from the aortic arch between the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery. The possible embryological mechanism of this variant was also reviewed. If the VA can not be found in the usual position during the procedure, a rare variant of the VA with anomalous origin should be considered. Understanding these variations is important to avoid unexpected events during endovascular procedures or surgery.

Recanalization of an atretic left internal mammary graft after bypass surgery for an anomalous left main coronary artery origin: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundThe inter-arterial anomalous course of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) originating from the right coronary sinus of Valsalva is a rare, though potentially lethal pathology. Coronary artery bypass grafting is a potential surgical therapy with previously reported success, however, there is concern for the possibility of graft occlusion in the setting of competitive native vessel flow.Case summaryA 48-year-old gentleman presented to our facility with a non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome. A malignant anomalous course of the LMCA was confirmed using invasive coronary angiography and computed tomography (CT). The patient underwent surgical revascularization of the left anterior descending artery with a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft, which was found to be atretic on follow-up CT. Seven years later the patient underwent repeat CT imaging, which confirmed recanalization of the previously atretic LIMA.DiscussionWe present the first documented case of a patient with spontaneous recanalization of an occluded LIMA following bypass surgery for an inter-arterial anomalous course of the LMCA. We postulate that the dynamic obstruction of the anomalous LMCA led to variable flow dependence on the bypass graft and subsequent atresia of the LIMA, due to the favourable native flow conditions in the absence of significant obstructive coronary disease. The exact mechanism of LIMA recanalization remains unclear, but in our case may have been partly mediated by a small increase in left main plaque.
