Question
Recently, a patient experienced frequent fainting at home and was brought to the hospital by their family members out of concern. The diagnosis revealed an aortic dissection with vascular hemangioma. This condition caused the patient to experience syncope, and they want to consult with a doctor regarding whether surgical treatment is necessary for aortic dissection with vascular hemangioma.
Answer
An aortic dissection with vascular hemangioma is a very serious vascular disease. The aorta, as the primary vessel for pumping blood from the heart, plays a crucial role in the supply of blood throughout the body. Once damaged, it may lead to severe consequences such as sudden death, with extremely high difficulty in rescue. Given that the patient has already shown symptoms of syncope, indicating insufficient cerebral blood supply, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment immediately after a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s condition.
