Acute aortic dissection in late pregnancy is rare but serious. This review covers two cases requiring aortic root replacement, highlighting urgent surgical needs and management complexities during pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Obstetrics
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition.
  • Pregnancy is associated with increased cardiovascular risks.
  • Aortic dissection during pregnancy requires careful management.

Observation:

  • Two pregnant women in their third trimester experienced acute aortic dissection.
  • One patient had Type A dissection requiring immediate aortic root replacement and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
  • The second patient with Marfan syndrome initially had Type B dissection, later developing Type A dissection necessitating emergency surgery.

Findings:

  • Both patients underwent aortic root replacement.
  • Management involved complex surgical interventions and intensive care support.

  • The cases illustrate the challenges of managing aortic dissection in advanced pregnancy.

    • Implications:

    • Timely surgical intervention is crucial for maternal survival.
    • Multidisciplinary care involving cardiothoracic surgeons and obstetricians is essential.
    • Further research is needed to optimize treatment protocols for pregnant patients with aortic dissection.
