Aortic arch de-branching for suspected expanding perigraft haematoma after previous acute type-A dissection repair with AMDS stent: A technique for a potential future problem

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Background Acute Stanford-A aortic dissections make up a large part of emergency cardiac surgery. They carry a significant burden of morbidity. New techniques to aid aortic remodelling include the Ascyrus Medical Dissection Stent (AMDS): Its increasing use, looks to present a potential problem in cases where surgery involving the aortic arch may be required.Case Report: We present the case of a 49-year-old male who underwent urgent redo-surgery for total arch replacement and de-branching following recent replacement of ascending aorta for acute type-A dissection where an AMDS stent was deployed. The patient underwent total arch replacement with a stented tri-furcate prosthesis and de-branching of arch vessels with the stent landed inside the previous AMDS, to good effect.Conclusion This case highlights a possible approach to aortic arch surgery in patients who have previous had AMDS insertion.
