Acute Complex Type A Dissection associated with peripheral malperfusion syndrome treated with a staged approach guided by lactate levels

چکیده
Acute type A aortic dissection can be complicated by visceral malperfusion and is associated with a significant surgical morbidity and mortality. We describe a case of successful management of a complex acute type A dissection with mesenteric and lower limb ischemia treated with endovascular thoracic stenting and femoro-femoral crossover bypass grafting followed by aortic arch repair. To accomplish this, we applied a staged therapeutic approach using serial lactate measurements to assess the adequacy of peripheral perfusion and metabolic status prior to surgical repair of the proximal dissection.

Management of visceral malperfusion complicated with acute type A aortic dissection.
OBJECTIVES The extent of visceral malperfusion due to acute type A aortic dissection remains difficult to assess in view of the clinical signs that typically present at a late stage. We suspected that visceral malperfusion can persist after proximal aortic graft replacement despite redirecting blood flow into the true lumen. We therefore evaluated the operative outcomes of visceral malperfusion...
متن کاملManagement of type A dissection with malperfusion.
Malperfusion is a common lethal complication of acute aortic dissection following rupture, for which the optimal management strategy has yet to be clearly established. The objective of this study was to reassess the management of acute type A aortic dissection (Type A-AAD) with malperfusion. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of all patients with Type A-AAD with malperfusion at the Univer...
متن کاملPlacement of Endovascular Stent Graft in Acute Malperfusion Syndrome After Acute Type II Aortic Dissection
Acute malperfusion syndrome is a serious complication of acute aortic dissection. A 76-year-old female patient was admitted with acute type B aortic dissection and developed renal malperfusion during medical therapy. We are reporting a clinically successful result from the thoracic endovascular aortic repair used for malperfusion syndrome that occurred by acute type B aortic dissection.
متن کاملMedical management of acute type a aortic dissection in association with early open repair of acute limb ischemia may prevent aortic surgery
BACKGROUND Acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a cardiovascular emergency with a high potential for death. Rapid surgical treatment is indicated to prevent fatal complications. Aggressive appropriate medical management starts at first suspicion and is essential to prevent exacerbation or rupture of the dissection. Despite improved surgical techniques, perioperative care and the development...
متن کاملDelayed visceral malperfusion after Bentall procedure for type A acute aortic dissection.
Rapid restoration of flow into the true lumen and obliteration of a false lumen is considered the optimal approach to treating malperfusion syndrome due to acute aortic dissection. However, organ malperfusion can occasionally persist after proximal aortic graft replacement despite redirecting blood flow into the true lumen. A 35-year old man underwent the modified Bentall procedure for Stanford...
