The disease is dangerous
Arūnas Čepkauskas, Head of the Department of Vascular Surgery, explained that aortic dissection is one of the most dangerous diseases.
“The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the human body. It consists of three layers, and the detachment of the main blood vessel is a dangerous disease in which there is a partial rupture of the wall (detachment). Blood flows into the space between the inner and middle layers of the vascular layers, which causes a greater separation of the layers. Due to this pathology, the outer layer of the blood vessel can break, then active bleeding begins and death often occurs “, presented a surgeon vascular disease of dangerous diseases A. Čepkauskas.

“Dissections are manifested by pain that is difficult to control, uncontrolled hypertension, rapid dilation of the aorta, damage to various internal organs due to broken blood vessels. Possible bleeding in the chest, bleeding in the aorta or peritoneum, bleeding in the abdomen, pelvis. All symptoms depend on the location, nature and intensity of the injury ”, the doctor presented the symptoms of the disease.
The situation is threatening
A patient diagnosed with severe aortic dissection was admitted to the Republican Hospital of Panevėžys.
“For our doctor, the situation is very threatening due to the violations. The patient had a ruptured aorta from the middle of the thorax to the distal part and both iliac arteries ruptured to the groin. The blood from the aorta had already spilled into the In addition, the left kidney and the ligament artery were almost completely ruptured: it feeds the entire intestine, the abdominal artery, which feeds the liver, spleen, pancreas, and the artery of the right leg is completely closed, “he said. cardiac surgeon A.

“In the treated patient, the arteries of the left kidney, intestine, liver and right leg were ruptured, for which the urgent restoration of the broken arteries with the help of stents was necessary, since the failure of the mentioned organs developed. After an extensive investigation, the decision was made to operate the patient urgently. During this operation I worked together with the vascular surgeon A. Čepkauskas and was assisted by the head of the Department of Resuscitation and Intensive Care, Dr. Arūnas Valikonis “, said the doctor and continued:
“During the operation, a special dissecting stent was inserted through the patient’s left groin, which stopped the further rupture of the aorta and the rupture was compressed with the help of a balloon. It was also necessary to restore blood flow to the left kidney, intestine, liver, and right leg. Blood flow through the groin was restored, finding a ruptured artery with a catheter. The artery was dilated with a balloon and secured with a stent. This restored blood flow to vital organs. We saved the right leg with an open bypass from the left. The operation was very successful, as evidenced by the fully restored function of the organs. “
