Acute Stanford type B dissection and cardiac tamponade: rupture from around ductus arteriosus.
Pericardial tamponade is rarely associated with acute Stanford type B aortic dissection. We encountered this unusual combination in a 59-year-old patient. He underwent an emergency drainage procedure through a midline sternotomy. Operative findings strongly suggested that the dissected aorta ruptured into the pericardial cavity from around the ductus arteriosus. Clinicians should be aware that Stanford type B aortic dissection can cause pericardial tamponade.
Purpose ::: This study aimed to retrospectively compare the enlargement and migration of the femoral tunnel aperture after anatomic rectangular tunnel anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a bone–patella tendon–bone (BTB) or hamstring tendon (HT) graft using three-dimensional (3-D) computer models.
