Key result
Implantation of a bare metal stent in the left main trunk successfully restored coronary blood flow and stabilized hemodynamics as a bridge to emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.

Left main stenting can serve as an effective bridge to surgery for stabilizing hemodynamics in patients with acute type A aortic dissection complicated by coronary malperfusion and shock.
May stabilize select unstable type A dissections with coronary involvement for surgery; single-case report leaves broader applicability open.

Yamada et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection with Acute Coronary Syndrome (n=1). Left main trunk (LMT) stenting was evaluated on Hemodynamic stabilization and successful bridge to surgery. Implantation of a bare metal stent in the left main trunk successfully restored coronary blood flow and stabilized hemodynamics as a bridge to emergency surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.
