Should not yet change practice; leaves open the role of pre-repair left main stenting in unstable type A dissection.
Case Report (n=1)
Left main coronary artery stenting prior to surgical repair can be a successful management strategy for hemodynamically unstable patients with Type A aortic dissection complicated by myocardial ischemia.
Saxena et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Type A aortic dissection with myocardial ischemia (n=1). Left main coronary artery stenting prior to surgical repair was evaluated on Successful surgical management. Stenting the left main coronary artery prior to surgical repair was successfully used to manage a hemodynamically unstable patient with acute type A aortic dissection and ongoing myocardial ischemia.
