Acute aortic syndromes include a spectrum of life-threatening aortic conditions. By convention, acute disease is distinguished from chronic disease at an arbitrary time point of two weeks from initial clinical presentation (hyperacute: 14 to 90 days, chronic: >90 days) and typically manifests with symptoms. Acute aortic dissection is the most familiar and is defined by a separation of the layers of the aortic wall by an inciting intimal injury. Aortic dissection is very rare in young children. However, this disease is certainly recognized in children, particularly with congenital heart disease, connective tissue disorders, or severe trauma. CT scan

An Exceptional Clinical Case of Acute Aortic Dissection Type I according to DeBakey in a 14-year-old Girl with Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome, Terminal Stage of Chronic Transplant Disease, and Receiving Renal Replacement Therapy (Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis). The patient, who had a history of severe complications, including kidney transplantation, transplantectomy, and malignant course of arterial hypertension, underwent emergency surgery. Despite the performed supra-coronary prosthesis of the ascending aorta, the lethal outcome could not be prevented due to progressing heart failure and bleeding. This case is the first recorded instance of acute aortic dissection in a child in our country, highlighting the critical need to increase awareness of this rare and fatal pathology in pediatric patients with multisystemic disorders. This clinical case is unique due to the combination of albinism, terminal renal failure, and the development of acute dissection of the aortic aneurysm, a pathology rarely encountered in pediatric practice. 

Patient K. is a girl with albinism, 14 years old, from a medical history of the disease: she has been suffering from congenital nephrotic syndrome since 2011.

On December 11, 2015, a kidney transplant from a cadaverous donor was performed. 

In September 2021, the patient had: chronic graft disease, 5 - terminal stage. 

On 09.14.2021, a Tenkoff peritoneal dialysis catheter was implanted. PD was started on 09.15.2021. 

On 04.20.2023, an operation was performed – a lumbotomy on the right. Transplantectomy. Nephroterectomy of the native kidney on the right. The patient had symptomatic arterial hypertension of 2-3 degrees against the background of PD and non-compliance: 160-170/125-130 mmHg. 

The patient was hospitalized in the UMC Hospital OND from 02.21-31.03.2024: 03.05.2024 surgery was performed to eliminate a hernia of the anterior abdominal wall with dissection. The patient was re-hospitalized in the UMC Hospital on 04.01.2024: Clinical problems at admission: 

- malignant course of symptomatic arterial hypertension on the background of combined arterial hypertension 

- anemia of moderate severity Hb 88g/l 

- thrombocytopenia 66-144 thousand.

 - inability to perform HRT: PD (the patient has a high risk of leakage of dialysis fluid through postoperative wounds, there is a risk of recurrence of ventral hernia, it was decided to refrain from PD for 14 days), continued HRT: HD 

- coagulopathy has an unclear origin, and therefore hemodialysis sessions are performed without the use of heparin. 

On 04.05.2024, at 13:15, the patient's condition during examination was severe in dynamics with deterioration, unstable, due to arterial hypertension of 210/100 mmHg, severe pain syndrome, noticeably cold sticky sweat, crying, screaming. At the same time, the heart rate-68-90/ one minute, BH-24-26/ for a minute, SpO2 is 100%. CT scans of the brain, abdominal and thoracic cavities were performed with contrast on 04.05.2024: signs of a dissecting aortic aneurysm (type I according to Debakey) with spread to the mouth of the left subclavian artery, the mouth of the right common iliac artery and up to the bifurcation of the left common iliac artery (with subtotal thrombosis of the lumen of the vessel of the left common iliac artery, thrombosis spreads to proximal segment of the left internal iliac artery); hemodynamically significant stenoses of the LAD and the mouth of the superior mesenteric artery on the background of atherosclerotic plaques; pericarditis; left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy; multiple small-focal seals of both lungs (to differentiate with hypersensitive pneumonitis and fungal lesions); mediastinal, axillary, retroperitoneal, inguinal lymphadenopathy. She was consulted by an angiosurgeon: Acute dissection of the aorta in the thoracic region, DeBayko type 1. Recommended: CT scan of the abdominal aorta, iliac arteries with contrast with further consultation with a cardiac surgeon. She was consulted by a cardiac surgeon on 04.05.2024. She was diagnosed with acute exfoliating aneurysm of the ascending thoracic aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta, SNFC IV. 04.05.2024 19:40-19:50: A consultation was held, taking into account clinical and anamnestic, laboratory and instrumental data, it was decided to carry out surgical intervention in the following volume: "Supracoronary prosthetics of the ascending aorta with a vascular prosthesis." The risk on the basic Aristotle scale is 11 points (mortality is 10-20%, the risk of complications, the duration of stay in the ICU is 1-2 weeks, the complexity is significant). The expanded Aristotle scale is 16.0 (+1 for renal failure, +3 points for chronic kidney failure requiring regular dialysis, +1 for acquired coagulation disorder), (mortality of more than 20%, risk of complications, duration of ICU stay of more than 2 weeks, increased complexity). Operation 04/05/2024 20:50h-4:00h: Supracoronary prosthetics of the ascending aorta with a vascular prosthesis "Vascutek – 24 mm" in conditions of artificial circulation, deep hypothermia and circulatory arrest. After the operational period, there was: 1) signs of ongoing active bleeding, 2) acute cardiovascular insufficiency: unstable hemodynamics, arterial hypotension. 04.07.2024, the patient's condition is critical with progressive deterioration 03:00 against the background of progressive heart failure, increased hypotension, cardiac arrest occurred, 03:30 biological death was pronounced.

 

 

This case was the first reported acute aortic dissection in a child in the country. Unfortunately, despite timely diagnosis and early surgical intervention in a specialized center, the outcome turned out to be fatal. The case of acute dissecting aortic aneurysm in a 14–year-old girl with albinism and terminal renal failure is an example of a multisystem pathology that highlights how rare the pathology can be combined with a high risk of adverse outcome. This case is a Painful but important lesson, which, we hope, will help other clinicians to suspect and diagnose this fatal pathology in time, giving a chance to save lives.
