[Patch plasty of intraoperative acute aortic dissection in a patient with severe aortic valve stenosis;report of a case].
2015
: Intraoperative aortic dissection is a rare complication, but is associated with a high mortality. We report a case of 79-year-old woman with severe aortic valve stenosis who underwent aortic valve replacement(AVR). After cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) was established, aortic dissection started at the inflow cannulation site. Because hemodynamics were stable, we performed AVR as scheduled. After declamping, excessive bleeding from the arterial cannulation site continued. CPB was reestablished by placing the arterial cannula in the left femoral artery. The ascending aorta was opened at the site of cannulation under deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The entry tear was successfully repaired by entry resection and Hemashield patch plasty. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the 22nd postoperative day. Patch plasty may be useful for the management of intraoperative aortic dissection.
