Abstract

Background: Background Syncope is a frequent problem among patients who present to the ED, accounts for 3% of emergency department admission and 1% of hospitalization. It is characterized by a comparatively short and self-limited loss of consciousness, which is caused by temporary cerebral hypoperfusion.Objective: Therefore, Risk stratification performed in the ED can guide triage decisions, and Risk-stratifying patients into low, moderate, and high-risk groups can assist medical decisions and determine the patient’s disposition.Discussion: The central point of syncope progression pathophysiology is the reduction of systemic blood pressure (BP) with a drop in global cerebral blood flow. Based on the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) syncope practice guidelines, syncope is classified into three categories, Neurally-mediated syncope (neural reflex syncope), Orthostatic hypotension, Cardiac syncope. Proper evaluation of syncope cases could in turn enable timely hospitalization and treatment by syncope experts. Assessment of a patient with syncope can be difficult, requiring a wide variety of medical testing with high health care costs. Sometimes, even after a careful examina- tion, it may not be possible to determine a definitive etiology for syncope. Given these uncertainties, about one-third of emergency room (ER) syncope/collapse patients are referred for assessment to the hospital, including non to low-risk patients. establish the urgency of any further work-up.Conclusion: Syncope assessment and treatment are very difficult, and syncope cases should be treated and dispositioned properly using proper risk stratification guidelines.

Abstract

Introduction:Uncomplicated type B aortic dissections have been traditionally treated with medication therapy. While it may provide good short-term results, longterm prognosis may be less favorable. With improvements in endovascular repair and the potential risk of disease progression, thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has been considered inpatients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection. We present the case of 78-year-old gentleman who presented with acute uncomplicated type B aortic dissection managed by endovascular repair Case illustration:A 78 year-old hypertensive patient admitted to the hospital with persistent chest discomfort and cough for 2 weeks. The CT aortic angiogram showed type B dissection. Based on the recent guidelines, TEVAR should be considered in patients with uncomplicated type B aortic dissection, thus we prepared the patient for TEVAR procedure. First we established multidisciplinary vascular team for the pre-procedural preparation of the patient. We perform careful measurement through detailed CT angiography reconstruction from carotid to femoral arteries. We found proximal diameter was 30-35mm, distal diameter was 23mm and landing zone right after left brachial ostium, suitable for stent graft Valiant Captivia 36-32x150mm. The CT also showed that both femoral artery were normal, we decided to use right femoral artery as the access. We proceed to the procedure 2 days later, under general anaesthesia, digital subtraction angiography revealed dissection of descending aorta, and selected device was inserted. Subsequent contrast injection revealed total occlusion of the false lumen. Patient was transferred to ICU for postprocedural care, and extubated the day after. The hospital stay was uneventful, and one-month follow up CT shows no endoleak. Conclusion :Management of uncomplicated Stanford B dissections is very challenging. TEVAR has emerged as an alternative to surgery with lower morbidity and mortality rates that might offer good long-term results.
