INDICATIONS FOR A CARDIAC SURGERY INTERVENTION

Dilation of an aortic region is a direct indication to the need to perform the surgery procedure. Another criterion used to determine the necessity of the surgical intervention is the rate of dilation of the affected area. Thoracic aorta surgery is performed to prevent rupture of the aorta and, consequently, death of the patient.

THORAСTIС AORTA SURGERY PERFORMED AT THE RCMC

• Ascending aorta prosthetics
  The pathologically altered area of aorta is replaced with a synthetic vascular prosthetic made of polytetrafluorethylene. The procedure may be either a standalone operation, or involve concurrent prosthetics of the aortic valve.
• Aortic arch prosthetics
  This type of operation is most commonly performed in cases of thoracic aorta aneurysm, including certain complicated cases. The use of modern techniques internationally adopted makes it possible to achieve solid results and reduce the risk of complications during the peroperative period.

CONTRAINDICATIONS

Conducting the operation on senior patients affected by concomitant diseases may be risky.

PREPARATION FOR A CARDIAC SURGERY INTERVENTION

• Stop taking blood-thinning drugs two weeks before the operation.
• Stop drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking.
• Laboratory tests: complete and biochemical blood assay, general urine test, blood coagulation test.
• Radiological studies: X-ray fluorogrpaphy, abdominal organ ultrasonography, CT and MRI;
• ECG
• Additional preparation of the patient is carried out at the inpatient facilities of the RCMC one day before the operation.
