Acute type A aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening emergency with high mortality. Preoperative organ malperfusion significantly worsens surgical outcomes. Isolated renal malperfusion is common in acute type A aortic dissection, increasing the risk of postoperative renal ischemia and early mortality. This case involves a young patient with renal malperfusion due to left renal artery closure by an intimal flap and true lumen compression of the abdominal aorta affecting both renal arteries. Endovascular intervention was not feasible. The patient later underwent a successful kidney transplant and has been followed up for years without complications.

Objectives: We aimed to assess the long-term survival following surgical repair because of type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) and the correlation with the preoperative GERAADA-score value.
Methods: We enrolled patients who underwent emergent aortic surgery because of ATAAD from 2010 to 2022 from 9 hospitals. Follow-up information was obtained by matching the clinical patient data with a national administrative database.

Unlabelled: Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency, particularly Stanford type A, which typically necessitates urgent surgical intervention. Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, preoperative bleeding and coagulopathy remain significant challenges. Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, is widely used to minimize perioperative bleeding in cardiovascular surgeries; however, its role in the non-surgical, preoperative stabilization of aortic dissection has not been well established.

Unlabelled: Encephalitis is a potentially life-threatening condition with infectious or autoimmune aetiologies. Autoimmune encephalitis includes paraneoplastic variants associated with specific onconeural antibodies such as anti-Hu, frequently linked to malignancies. Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is the leading infectious cause in adults.
