Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is safe and effective for patients with aortic aneurysm. These patients can be treated without invasive monitoring, though blood pressure control may be beneficial.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Neurology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Aortic aneurysms present significant cardiovascular risks.
  • Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a vital treatment for severe psychiatric conditions.
  • The safety of ECT in patients with aortic aneurysms requires careful consideration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ECT in patients with aortic aneurysms.
  • To review existing literature on ECT use in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of two patients with aortic aneurysm undergoing ECT.
  • Comprehensive literature review of prior ECT cases in aortic aneurysm patients.

Main Results:

  • Successful ECT administration in two patients with confirmed aortic aneurysms.

  • Identification of 13 previous case descriptions in the literature.
  • No requirement for invasive monitoring in the reported cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • ECT is a safe and effective treatment modality for patients diagnosed with aortic aneurysms.
    • Invasive monitoring may not be necessary for ECT in this patient group.
    • Additional blood pressure management may enhance treatment outcomes but is not essential for safety.
