This commentary discusses the potential role of intraoperative antegrade intravascular ultrasound for diagnosing visceral malperfusion in patients undergoing repair for acute type A aortic dissection.
Central aortic repair for acute type A aortic dissection frequently successfully restores end-organ perfusion. For the unfortunate patient with persistent false lumen and malperfusion following repair, prognosis remains dismal despite aggressive intervention. In this edition of the Journal, Alagoz and colleagues1 from the University of Texas Health describe their experience with intraoperative antegrade intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for diagnosing patients with acute type A aortic dissection with suspected visceral malperfusion.
