  • Title: Emergency operation for aortic dissection with ischemic stroke.
    Author: Yamashiro S, Arakaki R, Kise Y, Kuniyoshi Y.
    Journal: Asian Cardiovasc Thorac Ann; 2014 Feb; 22(2):208-11. PubMed ID: 24585797.
    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old man lost consciousness while speaking. Computed tomography of the head revealed no hemorrhage or areas of hypodensity. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator was administered. Neck duplex scanning showed dissecting intima of the right common carotid artery. Chest computed tomography disclosed Stanford type A aortic dissection. We performed emergency surgery because the right common carotid artery was severely stenosed. Despite 8 h of surgery due to coagulopathy, the patient was discharged without neurological deficits.
