Interdisciplinary team approach for complicated type B aortic dissection with concomitant hematothorax by endovascular stent grafting and left side mini thoracotomy: a case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Due to high mortality rates in surgical treatment, total endovascular stent grafting has become a promising therapeutic option in patients with acute aortic dissection type B. In our case, a 76- year- old patient with acute ruptured aortic dissection type B and hematothorax achieved concomitant total endovascular stent grafting and left side mini thoracotomy. With moderate neurologic impairment he was discharged from hospital after 20 days.This case shows that early mortality of live threatening acute aortic dissection type B with hemorrhagic pleural effusion may be reduced by total endovascular stent grafting and concomitant mini thoracotomy.

Endovascular stent grafting of a complicated type B aortic dissection with approach through the innominate artery using a side-branch graft.
Endovascular stent grafting has emerged as an effective method for the treatment of complicated acute type B aortic dissections. In cases where access to the aorta cannot be established through the ileofemoral trunks, the axillary arteries are used as an alternative route. Often, however, these arteries are too small to accommodate the device sheath. We report the case of an 82-year-old female ...
متن کاملSurgical interventions after emergency endovascular stent-grafting for acute type B aortic dissections.
In this retrospective study we reviewed our results of secondary surgery for complications after emergency placement of aortic stents for acute type B dissection. From October 2000 to June 2006, endovascular stent-grafting (ESG) was performed in 13 patients as an emergency procedure for acute type B dissection. Self-expanding nitinol stents (mean diameter 39.8+/-4.7 mm) were placed into the des...
متن کاملEmergency thoracic aortic stent grafting for acute complicated type B aortic dissection after a previous abdominal endovascular aneurysm repair
We report a case of acute type B aortic dissection with the complication of bowel ischemia and abdominal stent graft compression treated by emergency thoracic aortic stent grafting after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). A 69-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for sudden thoraco-abdominal pain. He had past treatment history of EVAR for AAA half a y...
متن کاملSuccessful Endovascular Stent-Graft Repair for Complicated Type B Aortic Dissection Developed in a Patient with Polycystic Kidney Disease
Polycystic kidney disease (PCKD) is rarely associated with aortic dissection (AD), which is a life-threatening disease. Although endovascular stent-graft repair tends to show better outcomes than conventional therapies in complicated type B AD (TBAD), successful endovascular intervention of TBAD with malperfusion in a patient with PCKD has not been reported. This case shows a 37-year-old male w...
متن کاملLimited Distal Arch Open Stenting for Type B Aortic Dissection with an Enlarged Ulcer-Like Projection, Complicated by Abdominal Aortic Occlusion
A 79-year-old man underwent bifurcated graft replacement for abdominal aortic aneurysm, but the graft was totally occluded owing to an acute type B aortic dissection. We could not have access to the root for performing endovascular stenting for dissecting aneurysm. Furthermore, it was difficult to remove the aneurysm via a left thoracotomy because it was impossible to perfuse the lower body wit...
