ABSTRACT
Temporary mechanical circulatory support device (tMCS) failure could qualify patients with advanced heart failure to receive a long-term solution. We report on a patient who presented with cardiorespiratory arrest that required a tMCS and developed acute type A aortic dissection. Data Sources our case adds further evidence regarding the support of a patient with a second (or more) incidence of tMCS. This patient subsequently underwent left ventricular assist device insertion and type A aortic dissection repair, as a combined procedure, with a satisfactory outcome.
