Abstract

Aortic dissection (AD) is an uncommon life-threatening emergency. Itsdevelopment is usually subtle and easily missed. On the other hand, ananeurysm nearly always requires immediate surgical intervention. Bothinterventions are technically different and pose their own challenges. Weexperienced a distinct case of AD of the ascending aorta in a 65-year-old lady,who presented with a sudden onset of severe chest pain and shortness ofbreath. Thoracic aortic aneurysm was suspected as computed tomographyrevealed a saccular aneurysm of the proximal ascending aorta with noinvolvement of the valve and aortic branches. Surgery was decided afterconsidering the risk of rupture and mortality. However, a diagnosis of localizedaortic dissection was discovered and repaired accordingly. We discuss thepitfalls of diagnostic modalities and the techniques of surgical repair.

Özet

Aort disseksiyonu (AD) nadir bir hayatı tehdit eden acil durumdur. Gelişimi genellikle gizlidir ve kolayca gözden kaçar. Öte yandan, bir anevrizma hemen hemen her zaman acil cerrahi müdahale gerektirir. Her iki müdahale de teknik olarak farklıdır ve kendi zorluklarını ortaya çıkarır. Başvuru sırasında 65 yaşında olan bir bayanda, ani başlayan şiddetli göğüs ağrısı ve nefes darlığı ile AD'nin ayrı bir olgusunu yaşadık. Hastada toraks aort anevrizması bilgisayarlı tomografinin, kapak ve aortik dalların tutulumu olmaksızın proksimal inen aortun bir sakküler anevrizmasını ortaya koyması nedeniyle şüphelenildi. Rüptür ve mortalite riski göz önüne alınarak cerrahi karar verildi. Bununla birlikte, lokalize aort diseksiyonu tanısı konuldu ve buna göre onarıldı. Burada, tanı yaklaşımları ve cerrahi onarım tekniklerinin tehlikelerini tartıştık.
