Hatakeyama et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Acute Type A Aortic Dissection with Acute Left Main Coronary Trunk Occlusion (n=1). Left main stenting as a bridge to surgery was evaluated on Successful surgical repair and survival. Implantation of a left main trunk stent as a bridge to surgery was an effective strategy for acute type A aortic dissection with left main trunk occlusion, allowing for successful surgical repair.
