We describe surgical treatment for a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension who developed acute type A aortic dissection. Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening disease and must be operated emergently, and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension can be treated only by pulmonary endarterectomy. We performed a staged procedure consisting of hemiarch replacement with antegrade cerebral perfusion first and pulmonary endareterectomy with periods of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest a week later.

This study was designed to determine qualitatively, the source of gastric vagal nerve fibres in the Agouti. A total of 18 male and female adult agoutis were used for the present investigation. Following anaesthesia, laparotomy was performed and the stomach exteriorized.

Objective: Brain damage is universal in the rare survivor of unwitnessed cardiac arrest. Non-pulsatile-controlled cerebral reperfusion offsets this damage, but may simultaneously cause brain oedema when delivered at the required the high mean perfusion pressure. This study analyses pulsatile perfusion first in control pigs and then using controlled reperfusion after prolonged normothermic brain ischaemia (simulating unwitnessed arrest) to determine if it might provide a better method of delivery for brain reperfusion.

We present a new technique, which is the distal perfusion first technique, for chronic dissection with dilatation of the aorta. Using a "side-ways-tau shaped" incision, this technique allows single-staged repair, full-time antegrade perfusion, less possibility of mesenteric malperfusion and cerebral embolism.
