In the family of cardiovascular lesions, there is a kind of lesion that is dangerous and unusual – aortic coarctation, do you know? This disease, the death rate within 48 hours up to 50%, within a week the death rate of 60% to 70%, and even up to 90%, especially type I, II aortic coarctation, without surgery rare long-term survivors. Aortic coarctation, as the name implies, is a condition in which the aorta has a rupture in the intima due to a lesion in the vessel wall and blood flows into the rupture, tearing the aorta and forming an aortic coarctation. As the aortic wall is torn and becomes weak, it is likely to rupture if the wind blows, and once the aortic coarctation ruptures, the blood flows out of the blood vessels in large quantities making the blood circulation fail, which means death, that is why it is said that the aortic coarctation is very dangerous. This is why aortic coarctation is so dangerous. How should patients and their families cope with such a dangerous lesion? Take a look at these suggestions. Do not delay, sudden onset of severe chest pain hurry to do the examination – sudden onset of severe chest pain accompanied by hypertension is a more typical clinical manifestation of aortic coarctation, especially the tear-like pain in the back with elevated and asymmetric blood pressure in both limbs. However, the clinical manifestations of aortic coarctation are intricate and complex. When clinicians suspect this disease, they should actively cooperate with doctors to improve cardiac ultrasound (screening test) and whole aorta CTA (confirmatory test) and other related examinations, right? Don’t be nervous, absolutely rest in bed and don’t move around – After the diagnosis of aortic coarctation is confirmed, it is important to fully understand its risks, stay calm, absolutely rest in bed, actively cooperate with the doctor for medical medication and control blood pressure and heart rate as soon as possible, because controlling blood pressure and heart rate plays an important role in preventing further tearing and rupture of the coarctation. However, even with aggressive medical treatment, aortic coarctation still has a high mortality rate, which is a medical pity. Don’t hesitate to take a chance if the economic condition allows – aortic coarctation type III has a relatively good prognosis and can be considered for intra-aortic stenting to press the tear closed, which makes the morbidity and mortality rate significantly reduced; type I and II have a relatively poor prognosis and require surgical artificial vessel grafting, but the treatment cost is high, the surgical risk is extremely high, and there is still a high risk of death after surgery. The risk of death after surgery is still high. In addition to drug treatment, families should discuss and decide on the next treatment plan as soon as possible, and if economic conditions allow, it may be worthwhile to give it a try.
