Interdiscip Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2023 Mar 2;36(3):ivad043. doi: 10.1093/icvts/ivad043.

Abstract

Acute type A aortic dissection complicated by carotid artery is associated with a high risk of perioperative stroke. We reported a case of application of hybrid aortic arch debranching procedure in acute type A aortic dissection complicated by right carotid artery occlusion, which resulted in no neurological complications after operation and patent carotid artery after discharging.
