Intraoperative Descending Aorta Dissection During Cardiac Surgery
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intraoperative acute aortic dissection is a rare and potentially fatal complication of open cardiac surgery,the reported incidence of which is approximately 0.16% to 0.35% [1]. Its early diagnosis and treatment are essential to achieve a favorable outcome. Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) is routinely used intraoperatively during open cardiac surgery and is the only useful monitor for detection and diagnosis of intraoperative aortic dissection. We report an unusual case of intraoperative descending aortic dissection, and its detection by TEE during extracorporeal circulation.

We reviewed our experience of intraoperative type A aortic dissection during cardiovascular surgery. From January 1998 to May 2009, intraoperative aortic dissection occurred in 10 of 3421 cardiac surgical patients (M:F=4:6, 62.4+/-8.0 years). Preoperative diagnoses were valvular heart disease (n=6), ischemic heart disease (n=2), combined disease (n=1) and aortic aneurysm (n=1). All underwent to...

Acute aortic syndrome affecting the aortic arch remains a treatment challenge, particularly in cases of acute dissection with an intimal tear in this location. Development of hybrid prostheses for complete treatment of the ascending aorta and aortic arch, combined with endovascular treatment of the descending aorta in a single procedure, has greatly increased the possibility of therapeutic succ...
متن کاملRisk factors for descending aortic aneurysm formation in medium-term follow-up of patients with type A aortic dissection.
BACKGROUND After surgery to repair a type A aortic dissection, most late complications and mortality result from descending aorta-related problems. This study was performed to determine the risk factors leading to descending aortic aneurysm formation and late mortality in patients undergoing the type A aortic dissection operation. METHODS The medical records of patients who survived the opera...
