Article Abstract

Complete circumferential aortic dissection with bidirectional intimo-intimal intussusception is a rare occurrence in Stanford type A dissections. The antegrade dissection flap can obstruct the left ventricular outflow tract and coronary sinuses, whereas the retrograde flap can obstruct the aortic arch and branch vessels. Sequelae include aortic regurgitation, myocardial ischemia, and neurologic complications. This case series highlights the need for prompt diagnosis with electrocardiography-gated computed tomography and surgical intervention for this unique pathologic process.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the midterm outcomes of a novel embedded modular single-branched stent-graft (EMSBSG) designed to preserve the left subclavian artery (LSA) of type B aortic dissection (TBAD).

Methods: From December 2020 to November 2021, a total of 120 patients with TBAD treated with an EMSBSG were enrolled in a multicenter prospective clinical trial at 18 Chinese tertiary hospitals. Follow-up computed tomography angiography scanning was conducted at 1, 6, and 12 months postprocedure.

BACKGROUND Circumferential acute aortic dissection is a rare and fatal condition. We present a surgical case of a 76-year-old woman presenting with Stanford type A acute aortic dissection with intimo-intimal intussusception. CASE REPORT A 76-year-old woman living on a remote island with no significant medical history visited a local general hospital because of sudden anterior thoracic strangulation.

Background: Acute heart failure due to aortic regurgitation (AR) is a severe comorbidity of type A acute aortic dissection (AAD). Valve-sparing aortic root replacement is typically performed when the aortic valve remains intact.

Case Presentation: A 33-year-old male presented to our hospital with chest pain.
