A young woman with chronic aortic dissection was successfully treated using a Dacron graft. This surgical approach involved profound hypothermia and retrograde cerebral circulation for aortic repair.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Aortic Disease

Background:

  • Chronic aortic dissection, particularly type B, presents complex surgical challenges.
  • Ductus diverticulum aneurysms are rare but can be associated with aortic pathology.
  • Minimally invasive thoracic surgical techniques are evolving for complex aortic conditions.

Observation:

  • A 28-year-old female presented with type B chronic aortic dissection originating from a ductus diverticulum aneurysm.
  • The dissection involved the descending aorta, necessitating surgical intervention.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical treatment was achieved using a 26-mm Hemashield woven Dacron graft.
  • A left posterolateral thoracotomy approach facilitated the graft interposition.

  • The procedure required profound hypothermia with circulatory arrest and short retrograde cerebral circulation for safe proximal anastomosis.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the feasibility of surgical repair for aortic dissection extending from ductus diverticulum aneurysms.
    • The use of a Dacron graft and specific surgical techniques demonstrates a viable treatment option.
    • Further research into minimally invasive approaches for complex aortic dissections is warranted.
