Intraoperative aortic dissection, a rare cardiac surgery complication, requires prompt recognition and repair. This case highlights the risks and challenges in managing acute type A dissection post-cardiopulmonary bypass.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Intraoperative aortic dissection is a rare but life-threatening complication during cardiac surgery.
  • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are critical for improving patient outcomes.

Observation:

  • A case of acute type A aortic dissection occurred after aortic cannula removal during cardiopulmonary bypass.
  • The patient underwent emergency femoral artery recannulation and deep hypothermic repair, including ascending aorta replacement with a Hemashield graft.

Findings:

  • Despite immediate surgical intervention, the patient unfortunately expired due to cardiac tamponade from uncontrolled bleeding.
  • Predisposing factors included long-standing hypertension, severe atherosclerosis, aortic dilation, and possible cystic medial necrosis.

Implications:

  • Gentle surgical technique and careful aortic manipulation can minimize the risk of iatrogenic injury.
  • Transesophageal echocardiography is crucial for rapid diagnosis, guiding timely and effective surgical management of suspected aortic dissections.
