Abstract
- Organ malperfusion may mask the presence of aortic dissection and is one of major cause of death in patient with aortic dissection. Several key mechanism appear to contribute to the development of malperfusion, therefore optimal choosing of treatment is necessary to obtain better result. In cases of extremity malperfusion, open bypass procedures have been used for primary treatment, but noninvasive interventional procedures are also recommended as good alternatives in some cases. Here in, we report a case of successful aortic replacement followed by stent insertion in patient with extremity malperfusion caused by acute aortic dissection.
