ABSTRACT
The criteria for being placed on the list of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation for an orthotopic heart transplant mention nothing about patients with aortic dissection. Nor are there any guidelines pertaining to the patient with type B aortic dissection. Herein, we report the case of a patient with chronic type B aortic dissection for whom we successfully performed a left ventricular assist device implant followed by an orthotopic heart transplant.
