This commentary discusses the pathophysiology and management strategies for acute type A aortic dissection with persistent false lumen and malperfusion.
For patients with persistent false lumen and malperfusion following acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD), prognosis remains dismal despite heroic surgical measures. The Canadian Thoracic Aortic Collaborative reviews the management of this complication in their timely article.1 They discuss the pathophysiology of acute TAAD repair and distal anastomotic new entry tear following hemiarch repair based on contemporary open and endovascular surgical strategies for aortic arch management.
