Rarely, aortic dis-section involves carotid arteries and manifest cerebral infarction. Here, we report a case of aortic dissection complicated with fatal cerebral infarction. A 83-year-old man, who suddenly suffered consciousness disturbance and right hemiparesis, was transferred to our hospital for the treatment of stroke. Magnetic resonance image revealed massive cerebral infarction in the left cerebral hemisphere as well as occlusion of the left internal carotid artery. Duplex ultrasonography demonstrated arterial dissection in the bilateral carotid arteries and the blood flow was compromised especially in the left side. Aortic dissection was confirmed by the contrast enhanced computed tomography. He was treated conservatively and died of cerebral hernia three days after the onset. In conclusion, aortic dissection may involve carotid artery and results in cerebral infarction. Ultrasound screening can aid timely diagnosis of aortic dissection and further management.展开更多

Endovascular aortic ancurysm repair(EVAR),as a first-line treatment of type B AD,has the advantages of short operation time,little trauma,and rapid recovery. Previous studies have paid more attention to the clinical prognosis and imaging changes after endovascular repair of AD,with few focus on the quality of life after operation. The prevalence of coronary heart disease(CHD)has dramatically risen during the past few decades. Percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)is considered one of the primary approaches for CHD treatment. Anxiety and depression are commonly associated with coronary heart disease(CHD). Psychological problems may be related with occurrence of unhealthy lifestyles and non-adherence to treatment. This study was to explore psychological characteristics and the quality of life and their influencing factors after interventional therapy of AD and CHD.Methods Respectively 100 AD and 100 CHD patients undergoing interventional therapy were investigated with SF-36,self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS)and social support scale. The values of SF-36,SAS,SDS between the AD and CHD group were analyzed. The influencing factors of quality of life were evaluated. Results There was no significant difference in SF-36 score between AD patients after endovascular repair and CHD patients after percutaneous coronary intervention. However,the scores in the dimensions of role-physical(54.00±41.54 vs. 65.25±34.43,P=0.038)and social functioning(74.00±20.69 vs.81.00±20.35,P=0.020)were lower in AD patients than in CHD patients. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age,occupational status,postoperative time,anxiety,depression,and social support were the influencing factors of life quality in aortic dissection patients. Conclusion Compared with CHD patients receiving percutaneous coronary intervention,quality of life in AD patients after endovascular repair should be paid attention to. It is necessary that a multidisciplinary team including psychological medical staff should be established to manage AD patients.[S Chin J Cardiol 2019;20(3):174-181]展开更多

Patients at high risk for mortality, such as individuals with aortic regurgitation, cardiac tamponade, or myocardial infarction, should be treated by surgery as soon as possible, especially in cases with acute ascending aortic dissections （Stanford type A）. However, patients with aortic dissection may suffer adverse outcomes that lead to mortality and morbidity, such as stoke, re-dissection, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. Patients with surgically treated acute type A aortic dissection show an 18.2% likelihood of stroke in early morbidity.展开更多
