Aortic coarctation is a critical condition that requires immediate treatment, including general treatment, drug treatment, interventional therapy and surgical treatment.
1. General treatment: monitor vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, pulse, respiration, oxygen saturation, etc. Patients with heart failure and unstable blood pressure should also monitor central venous pressure and capillary wedge pressure. Suspected aortic coarctation patients need absolute bed rest, sedation and analgesia.
2. Drug therapy: whether or not to take the subsequent intervention or surgical treatment, the need for internal medicine treatment. Including sodium nitroprusside to lower blood pressure, if necessary, combined with other antihypertensive drugs. Meanwhile, metoprolol and verapamil can be used to reduce myocardial contractility.
3. Interventional therapy: Interventional procedures such as endocaval septostomy are effective and have fewer complications than surgical procedures.
4. Surgical treatment: open heart surgery has a relatively high complication rate.
When aortic coarctation occurs, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for reasonable treatment.
