Does extraanatomic femoro-carotid bypass restore cerebral blood flow and consciousness in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection and carotid obstruction?
Does extraanatomic femoro-carotid bypass restore cerebral blood flow and consciousness in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection and carotid obstruction?
Extraanatomic femoro-carotid bypass can be a successful staged approach to restore cerebral perfusion in acute type A aortic dissection presenting with coma due to carotid obstruction.
