ABSTRACT
Acute aortic dissection is a life threatening disease, which is occasionally limited to an ascending aorta only (DeBakey type II). In majority of patients it involves the aortic arch and entire rest of the aorta (DeBakey type I). The standardized cannulation and operation strategy can not be used in cases, when aortic arch branches are involved in dissection (complex aortic arch dissection) or in cases with malperfusion or severely compromised hemodynamics (tamponade or heart failure due to severe aortic valve insufficiency). The aim of this present review is to present the "Essen" treatment concept of complicated acute aortic arch dissection from diagnostics to operation strategy.
