Abstract
- Malperfusion of major organs which frequently accompanies acute aortic dissection is one of the major causes of death. Malperfusion does not only develop before surgery, but also during or after surgery in various manifestations according to the aortic branches involved. Expeditious diagnostic and therapeutic measures based on high degree of clinical suspicion are mandatory for successful treatment. The authors report four cases of acute aortic dissection accompanied by malperfusion of various organs that were successfully treated.
