The patient is Mr. N. M. H (36 years old, Vi Thuy district, Hau Giang province), admitted to Hoan My Cuu Long Hospital (Can Tho city) in a state of chest pain, cyanosis, strong vomiting, sweating, and fainting. The patient has a history of high blood pressure before the age of 15 and is being treated with drugs.
At the hospital, the results of a chest CT scan determined that the patient had a rare congenital artery stenosis right behind the left subcutaneous artery, causing a pressure to separate the type B thoracic artery.
The combined medical condition is complicated, the risk of death is very high. The medical team quickly consulted an emergency - cardiologist and decided to treat the disease by replacing the main artery rotation and placing a stent graft in the main artery section down the flow using the method of running an epidural circulatory machine, deeply cooling down the body, stopping circulation to protect the brain.
After more than 5 hours of emergency surgery, the surgery was successful. The patient's heart was heated and beat again. After 7 days of active treatment, the patient's health changed well, his vital signs were stable, his brain was not damaged, and liver and kidney function was normal. The patient was discharged from the hospital for outpatient monitoring.
Doctor CKII. Tran Phuoc Hoa - Head of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery - Thoracic Surgery - Cardiovascular Resuscitation, Hoan My Cuu Long Hospital - said that this is a rare case of combined diseases. Arterial secretion is a result of congenital heart disease with narrowing of the aiming artery waist and is not detected early and thoroughly treated. Premature high blood pressure and no treatment is the main cause. This condition is very dangerous and has a very high risk of causing death if not detected and treated quickly.
Doctors recommend that people should proactively have regular health check-ups, control high blood pressure, diabetes, and blood lipids well to prevent disease. For children or young people, if they discover unusual high blood pressure, they should go to reputable hospitals for examination and screening for the exact cause of high blood pressure before being diagnosed with atrophy and taking medication.
