Hybrid carotid stenting may correct cerebral malperfusion in type A dissection; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before adoption.
Kim et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Acute type A aortic dissection (n=1). Hybrid technique (surgery and carotid stent placement) was evaluated on Neurologic complications and recovery of regional cerebral oxygen saturation. A hybrid technique involving surgery and prompt carotid stent placement successfully restored cerebral perfusion and prevented neurologic complications in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection.
