Isolated Innominate Artery

Abstract Background Acute DeBakey type I and type II aortic dissections are indications for emergent surgical repair; however, there are currently no standard protocols in the management of isolated supra-aortic dissections. Prompt diagnosis and management of an isolated innominate artery dissection are necessary to prevent distal malperfusion and thromboembolic sequelae. Case presentation A 50-year-old Caucasian gentleman presented with chest pain radiating to his jaw and right arm. He had no recent history of trauma. On physical exam, he was neurologically intact and malignantly hypertensive. Computed tomographic angiography of the chest and neck confirmed a spontaneous isolated innominate artery dissection without ascending aorta involvement. Given the lack of evidence for rupture, distal emboli, and/or end-organ malperfusion, the decision was made for initial non-operative management—anti-impulse regimen, antiplatelet therapy, and close follow-up. Conclusions Medical management of a spontaneous isolated innominate artery dissection is appropriate for short-term and potentially long-term therapy. This not only spares the patient from a potentially unnecessary surgical operation but also provides the surgeon and the patient the time to plan for a surgical approach if it becomes necessary.

Isolated Innominate Artery

While cluster headaches are classified and considered a primary headache disorder, secondary causes of cluster headaches have been reported and may provide insight into cluster headaches’ potential pathophysiology. The mechanisms underlying this headache phenotype are poorly understood, and several theories have been proposed that range from the activation within the posterior hypothalamus to autonomic tone dysfunction. We provide a review of reported cases in the literature describing secondary causes after cardiac procedures. We will present a novel pediatric case report of a 16-year-old boy with an isolated innominate artery who presented with acute new-onset headaches 8 h following cardiac catheterization of the aortic arch with arteriography and left pulmonary artery stent placement. The headaches were characterized by attacks of excruciating pain behind the left eye and jaw associated with ipsilateral photophobia, conjunctival injection, rhinorrhea, with severe agitation and restlessness. These met the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 criteria for episodic cluster headaches. The headaches failed to respond to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, dopamine antagonists, and steroids. He showed an immediate response to treatment with oxygen. This unique case of cluster headaches following cardiac catheterization in a pediatric patient with an isolated innominate artery may provide new insight into cluster headaches’ pathogenesis. We hypothesize that the cardiac catheterization induced cardiac autonomic changes that contributed to the development of his cluster headaches. The role of aortic arch anomalies and procedures in potential disruption of the autonomic tone and the causation of cluster headaches is an area requiring further study.

Isolated Innominate Artery

Isolated innominate artery injury is very rare and accounts for less than 3% of recognized arterial injuries. Surgical exploration of the artery, especially at the origin of the artery from the arch of the aorta, is surgically challenging. Due to its rarity, any 1 surgeon’s experience in dealing with innominate artery injury is bound to be limited. We report 2 cases of innominate artery injury post-blunt chest trauma. Both patients underwent thoracotomy and innominate artery Dacron graft repair and both had an uneventful postoperative course.
