Should not yet change practice in acute type A dissection with MI; leaves open feasibility of left main stenting as bridge.
Does direct stenting of the left main coronary artery allow for definitive surgical correction in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection and anterior myocardial infarction?
Left main stenting can serve as a successful bridge to surgery in patients presenting with acute type A aortic dissection complicated by anterior myocardial infarction.
Barabas et al. (2000) studied this question. Direct left main coronary stenting successfully served as a bridge to definitive surgery in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection and anterior myocardial infarction.
