Continuous hemodialysis and infusion therapy can successfully manage rare early reperfusion injury following surgical repair of acute type A aortic dissection with upper extremity ischemia.
A 70-year-old man underwent emergent primary central repair for acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) with right upper extremity ischemia. Ascending aorta and hemi-arch replacement concomitant with additional right upper peripheral bypass was performed for persistent right upper arm ischemia. The early reperfusion injury (RI) of the right upper extremity was defined the next day, and managed by continuous hemodialysis (CHD) and infusion therapy, resulting in the arm being salvaged. This is an extremely rare adverse phenomenon, and we herein described its successful treatment with perioperative intensive management following central repair of AAAD.
