About Arterial Dissections With Lentiginosis

Arterial dissections with lentiginosis is a specialized cardiovascular procedure addressing a rare condition where a tear forms in the inner layer of an artery (dissection) in a patient with a genetic predisposition marked by multiple dark skin spots (lentiginosis). Performed by a cardiologist, often in collaboration with vascular surgeons, this intervention aims to repair the damaged arterial wall to restore normal blood flow and prevent life-threatening complications like stroke or organ ischemia. The approach is highly individualized, ranging from minimally invasive endovascular stenting to open surgical repair, depending on the artery's location and the dissection's severity. Management also includes genetic counseling and long-term monitoring for associated syndromes.

Key Highlights

    Addresses a critical, potentially life-threatening arterial tear in a specific patient population.Utilizes advanced imaging and tailored techniques (endovascular or open surgery) for precise repair.Aims to restore normal blood flow, preventing stroke, organ damage, or aneurysm formation.Involves a multidisciplinary team for comprehensive care, including genetic assessment.Can be performed using minimally invasive methods, potentially reducing recovery time.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Confirmed arterial dissection (e.g., carotid, vertebral, coronary, renal) in a patient with documented lentiginosis (e.g., LEOPARD syndrome, Carney complex).
  • Symptoms of ischemia or compromised blood flow downstream from the dissection site (e.g., stroke symptoms, angina, limb pain).
  • Evidence of dissection progression or failure of conservative medical management (anticoagulation, blood pressure control).
  • High risk of rupture or aneurysm formation associated with the dissected artery segment.
  • As part of a planned surgical intervention for the underlying genetic syndrome.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive diagnostic workup: CT/MR angiography, echocardiogram, and genetic testing to confirm the syndrome.
  • Detailed cardiac and vascular risk assessment by the cardiologist and anesthesiologist.
  • Pre-operative blood tests, including coagulation profile and renal function.
  • Adjustment or initiation of medications (e.g., beta-blockers, antiplatelets) as per the surgical plan.
  • Patient counseling on the procedure's risks, benefits, and the need for lifelong follow-up.
  • Fasting for 6-8 hours prior to the procedure if performed under anesthesia.

Risks & possible complications

  • Standard surgical risks: bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, or blood clots.
  • Procedure-specific risks: stroke, extension of the dissection, or damage to adjacent nerves/structures.
  • Endovascular-specific risks: contrast allergy, kidney injury, stent migration, or vessel perforation.
  • Graft-related complications: thrombosis, infection, or pseudoaneurysm formation.
  • Recurrence of dissection or development of new dissections in other arteries due to the underlying connective tissue vulnerability.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Initial 1-3 days in a monitored hospital setting for vital sign and neurological observation.
  • Pain management and gradual mobilization as tolerated.
  • Strict blood pressure control is paramount to protect the repair.
  • Discharge with detailed instructions on wound care, activity restrictions (avoiding heavy lifting), and medication adherence (e.g., antiplatelets, statins).
  • Regular follow-up appointments for imaging surveillance (ultrasound, CTA) to monitor the repair and check for new lesions.
  • Long-term cardiology and genetics clinic follow-up for syndrome management.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 3-7 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 4-8 weeks for initial recovery; lifelong monitoring required

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
