摘要
Aortic dissection is a rare but devastating complication of cardiac surgery. Adequate and early diagnosis of intraoperative aortic dissection and quick therapeutic decision making are the keys for saving patients in such cases. We describe the case of a 68-year-old man referred for CABG and mitral valve replacement with severe calcification of the ascending aorta. Intra-operative transesophageal echocardiography was useful for diagnosis of intra-operative aortic dissection and malperfusion of the true lumen. Immediate switching of the arterial perfusion site established flow in the true lumen with prompt subsidence of the expanded false lumen. CABG, mitral valve replacement and graft replacement of the ascending aorta could be simultaneously performed in this patient.
