Abstract
- Iatrogenic aortic dissection (IAD) is a life-threatening complication that can occur during open heart surgery, therefore IAD requires early diagnosis and prompt management. We describe here a case of IAD that occurred during mitral valve replacement. The transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) evaluation revealed features indicative of acute aortic dissection and the tear was successfully repaired by interposition of a graft.
