Postoperative acute aortic dissection. Apropos of two cases
1992
Aortic dissection after cardiac surgery is a rare complication. The prognosis is often poor: 33-78% of mortality. The study of two cases out of 2100 patients operated upon during the last three years, and the review of the literature, allows to recall the mechanism, the anatomic origin and the different surgical techniques. Early diagnosis is essential. Some preventive techniques may reduce the incidence of the iatrogenic dissections.
