Q: what would occur if you experienced a carotid artery dissection while on eliquis?

: A garden variety carotid artery dissection tends to cause early on, cerebral ischemia, and an eventual full-blown stroke may occur. The presence of anti-coagulation might prevent some of the localized thrombosis and mitigate the immediate damage potential but might result in hemorrhage in the area of cerebral infarction. So, an unpredictable two-edged sword?

Question 1

what is the best treatment approach to aneurysm of celiac artery (w/dissection), measuring 1.5 x 2.7 centimeters?

Accepted Answer

Surgery or others: This is really complex, options include open repair , bypass surgery with ligation or just simple ligation. Other less invasive options include endovascular stenting or coil embolization. You must consult with your vascular surgeon to discuss these option which depends on the location of the aneurysm, amount of collaterals , presence of other aneurysms and patient medical condition.

Question 2

i was just diagnosed w/a 3.6 cm dilated ascending aorta in the hospital at 33. i have celiac artery stenosis, thoracic hemicord impingement & genetic celiac disease & hyperinsulinemia. i've been through 2 bariatric surgeries. any of these connected?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like all: of these problems except for the celiac disease are related to your obesity.

Question 3

could stretching your neck cause verterbral artery dissection or is it just brutal cracking?

Accepted Answer

Hmmm: Trauma or neck manipulation can rarely cause vertebral artery dissection. Cracking is more likely related to the bone in the cervical spine.

Question 4

how long should it take for a radial artery dissection to stop hurting and heal?

Accepted Answer

Dissection: A vascular surgeon is best qualified to answer your question. Most physicians won't have experience with this problem.

Question 5

my chiro did neck manipulation without telling me the risks of artery dissection. after reading on it, how do i know if i have dissection?

Accepted Answer

Stroke symptoms: Vertebral artery dissection after chiropractic treatment is very rare- the odds are one in up to 6 million. If you had this unfortunate but rare adverse outcome you would develop neurologic symptoms like paralysis/numbness, loss of vision and/or dizziness. See http://tinyurl.com/ojbae3l

Question 6

can a small blow by the tip of a book to the neck cause artery dissection? just shortly after i have a clogged head sensation?

Accepted Answer

: Artery dissection would be highly unlikely from the incident you described.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Question 7

i turned my head and neck fast to stare at my back in the mirror and now have little pain in that neck area can this be artery dissection?

Accepted Answer

: No. It has to be jerked really hard like a Chiropractor does.

Question 8

i need to know what is vertebral artery dissection?

Accepted Answer

Separation of vessel: Vertebral artery dissection is separation or splitting of the layers of the blood vessel wall. This is often related to trauma, and may result in posterior neck pain and vessel clotting or narrowing. You should se a vascular surgeon for consultation.

Question 9

is vertebral artery dissection curable?

Accepted Answer

Generally not: The 2 vertebral arteries arise from the left and right subclavian arteries and supply the brainstem and cerebellum. Dissection is rare (2.5/100, 000), affect women to men 3:1 and can  cause  stroke in people <age 45. It may follow minor head trauma, yoga, painting a ceiling. 50% have hbp. Treatment is supportive. Blood thinners are used if bleeding is ruled out. Surgery is not usually an option.
