Extensive Intestinal Ischemia After Acute Aortic Dissection

Year 2013, Volume: 10 Issue: 12, - , 21.03.2016

Abstract

Aortic dissection is one of the leading life threatening cardiovascular emergencies. In this clinical entity, following the intimal tear, blood forms a channel splitting the inner and outer sheets of the medial layer. Pushing forward through the medial layer, the blood detaches the intimae from the adventitial layer. There can be complications such as rupture, obstruction and occlusion of certain aortic branches. It is well known that acute aortic dissection (AAD) leading to intestinal ischemia is difficult to manage and having high mortality rates. It is worrisome that a lot of sufferers with atypical or insignificant clinical signs can't have the chance for early diagnose and treatment. By the time intestinal necrosis progresses and manifest physical signs become apparent, usually multiple organ failure occurs and the cases surviving need extensive intestinal resections with high mortality and morbidity. Here we report a case of acute aortic dissection with extensive intestinal ischemia, in order to point out the importance of this clinical entity.

Abstract

Aort diseksiyonu hayati tehdit oluşturan kardiyovasküler acillerin ilk sıralarında yer alır. Aort diseksiyonunda kan, intima yırtığı nedeniyle medianın iç ve dış tabakalarını ikiye ayırarak media tabakası içinde bir kanal oluşturur. Kan media tabakası içinden ilerleyerek, intima tabakasını adventisyadan ayırır. Rüptür, obstrüksiyon, aort dallarında tıkanma gibi komplikasyonlar oluşabilir. İntestinal iskemiye neden olan akut aort diseksiyonun (AAD) tedavisinin oldukça zor olduğu ve yüksek mortalite ile seyrettiği bilinmektedir. Üzücüdür ki klinik bulguları silik veya atipik pek çok olgu erken tanı ve tedavi şansı bulamamaktadır. İntestinal nekroz gelişip aşikar fizik muayene bulguları ortaya çıktığında ise sıklıkla multipl organ yetmezliği oluşmakta ve yaşayan olgularda mortalitesi ve morbiditesi oldukça yüksek olan geniş barsak rezeksiyonları gerekmektedir. Burada, yaygın iskemik bağırsak hastalığı ile başvuran akut aort disseksiyonlu bir olgu sunularak bu önemli konuya dikkat çekmek amaçlanmıştır
