Abstract

Abstract: Acute aortic dissection with coronary malperfusion is a life‐threatening disease, resulting in demanding postoperative management. We report a successful insertion of percutaneous heart pump Impella through the intact true lumen in a patient with residual aortic dissection after the graft replacement. Careful evaluation of the access site and the Impella size selection is required. Abstract : Percutaneous heart pump Impella could be inserted through the true lumen in patients with type A aortic dissection after the ascending and total aortic arch graft replacement.
