Arterial Dissections With Lentiginosis Treatment in India
About Arterial Dissections With Lentiginosis
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.
-
Typical hospital stay:
3-7 days
-
Expected recovery time:
4-8 weeks for initial recovery; lifelong monitoring required

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.
