Iatrogenic aortic dissection during surgery is a rare but lethal complication. Early diagnosis with Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) and prompt treatment are crucial for patient survival.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Anesthesiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Intraoperative aortic dissection is a rare but potentially fatal complication of aortic cannulation during cardiac surgery.
  • The incidence of this complication is approximately 0.16%.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 68-year-old female patient who developed an acute type A aortic dissection following aortic cannulation for mitral valve replacement surgery.
  • The patient underwent general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation without immediate complications.

Findings:

  • Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is highlighted as a critical diagnostic tool for identifying intraoperative aortic dissections.
  • The dissection occurred as a direct consequence of aortic cannulation procedures.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of early recognition and prompt intervention in managing iatrogenic aortic dissections.
  • Suggests that advanced imaging like TEE plays a vital role in improving outcomes for this specific surgical complication.
