Retrograde cerebral and coronary perfusion for acute dissection of Stanford type A with destruction of the right coronary ostia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Repair of acute aortic dissection with destruction of the right coronary ostia and aortic valve regurgitation is described. The patient was a 54 year-old female with Marfan syndrome, who was admitted to our hospital for acute dissection with annulo aortic ectasia, accompanied by myocardial ischemia of the inferior wall. Retrograde dissection to the aortic annulus and destruction of the right coronary ostia due to extended dissection were noted. Retrograde coronary infusion through the coronary sinus was conducted during replacement of aortic annulus by the Cabrol method in conjunction with supplementary vein grafting to the right coronary artery. Distal repair was carried out, supported by hypothermic circulatory arrest and retrograde cerebral perfusion through the superior vena caval cannula. Retrograde cerebral and coronary sinus perfusion have been shown to be quite effective for treating patients requiring complex reconstruction of the ascending aorta.

Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a very rare complication, with potentially lethal consequences in pregnancy. In fact, pregnancy has been regularly associated with the possibility of aortic. dissection in almost half of young women. Herein, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman in her 37th week of pregnancy. The patient’s medical history was indicative of G4L2Ab1(4 gestaiti...

Introduction: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. Although ACD is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentat...

This study evaluated the relationship between the location of the most severe coronary artery stenosis and the subsequent acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Of 1590 patients who were admitted with a diagnosis of AMI, we identified 44 patients who had undergone previous myocardial perfusion SPECT. Thirty-one of these patients also had previous coronary angiography. The relationshi...

Coronary artery dissection is a quite unusual but eventually lifethreatening complication, and most cases occur as an immediate adverse event after cardiac catheterization [1, 2]. Mostly, it affects the right coronary artery, due to its anatomical disposition [3]. Rarely it can affect the LMCA (1% of all procedures), as happened in the case reported, and it can have fatal consequences if the ad...
