A Case of Total Aortic Arch Replacement with Root Plasty with Right Coronary Artery Bypass and Distal Open Stent-graft Insertion in Acute Type I Aortic Dissection / 대한흉부외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Since the operative mortality rate of the Acute aortic dissection has been reducing, a more extensive primary repair of the dissected aorta is preferred for acute aortic dissection to reduce the needs of secondary procedures. We performed a total aortic arch replacement with distal stent-grafting in acute type A aortic dissection. The patient was a 50-years old man. He recovered from the operation and was followed up for 7 months. The pseudolumen in the descending aorta was obliterated with the stent.
