Extensive stanford type A aortic dissection with AMI

Abstract

He was diagnosed with extensive Stanford Type A aortic dissection starting from the beginning of the aorta till the bifurcation and extending to the Brachiocephalic trunk and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Patient was transferred to Kharkov scientific institution of acute urgent surgery for operative treatment, where he died during operation. Conclusion: A high degree of clinical suspicion for Aortic dissection should always be exercised whenever a patient presents with “classical” symptoms of ischemic stroke or AMI, thus avoiding the consequences of initiating thrombolytic therapy in patients without either conditions. The careful collection and analysis of anamnestic data, conducting screening genotyping in combination with instrumental methods of diagnosis will allow for better results in diagnosis, and subsequently, prevention of complications
