Successful Repair of Type a Aortic Dissection in a Term Pregnancy: A Case Report

Stanford type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a very rare complication, with potentially lethal consequences in pregnancy. In fact, pregnancy has been regularly associated with the possibility of aortic. dissection in almost half of young women. Herein, we present the case of a 38-year-old woman in her 37th week of pregnancy. The patient’s medical history was indicative of G4L2Ab1(4 gestaiti...

Medical 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...

Severe limb ischemia related to previous abdominal aortic aneurysm repair induced by acute aortic dissection.

We described the first case of limb ischemia induced by acute aortic dissection in the patient with previous abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. A 56-year-old male was referred for severe limb ischemia. He underwent AAA repair one month before the referral. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed Stanford type B aortic dissection extended to the proximal anastomosis site of the AAA repair. T...

Different techniques of distal aortic repair in acute type A dissection: impact on late aortic morphology and reoperation.

OBJECTIVE To compare three different techniques of distal aortic repair in acute type A (de Bakey type I) aortic dissection and to evaluate their impact on the late morphology of the aortic arch and descending aorta and on the incidence of reoperation. METHODS From 65 patients operated on due to an acute type A aortic dissection between 1989 and 1993, 54 long-term survivors underwent clinical...
