Surgical reconstruction of an ascending aortic dissection in Takayasu's arteritis.

A 45-year-old Japanese woman with Stanford type A dissecting aortic aneurysm underwent a reconstructive operation on the ascending aorta. Histopathological diagnosis was Takayasu's arteritis in the chronic and inactive phase. It is very rare that a dissecting aortic aneurysm results from Takayasu's arteritis. Long-standing hypertension and fragility of the aortic media due to disruption of elastic fibers were suspected to cause dissection in the entire aorta in this case.

Hibernating myocardium associated with coronary artery dissection and vasospastic angina.

Hibernating myocardium is an uncommon clinical state involving persistently impaired myocardial function. A 61-year-old man was admitted because of vasospastic angina. Coronary angiography revealed coronary artery dissection in the midportion of the right coronary artery, and segmental vasoconstriction was evoked by acetylcholine. In this patient, hibernating myocardium in the dissected region was clearly demonstrated by dipyridamole thallium-201 imaging. This report describes the first documented case of hibernating myocardium associated with coronary artery dissection, and the usefulness of dipyridamole thallium-201 imaging in the assessment of this state. Coronary artery spasm might be relevant to the etiology of coronary artery dissection.
