主動脈剝離併發下肢腔室症候群及缺血性脊髓與神經根病變：病例報告

Abstract

Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is a common surgical procedure to treat severe valvular heart disease. Major complications of AVR include perioperative myocardial infarction, thromboemboli, hemorrhage, prosthetic endocarditis, aortic dissection, prosthetic dehiscence, and prosthetic dysfunction. Ischemic myeloradiculopathy due to aortic dissection after AVR is another complication documented in the medical literature, but the combination of lower-extremity compartment syndrome and ischemic myeloradiculopathy is rarely reported. We describe the clinical course and recovery of a 57-year-old man with this unusual combination and discuss the proper management to reduce long-term disability.
