Management of visceral malperfusion complicated with acute type A aortic dissection [1]
Authors report on visceral malperfusion in a series of 121 patients with acute type A aortic dissection. They postulate that in case of severe visceral ischaemia, abdominal surgery should be performed first to avoid irreversible ischaemic damage caused by circulatory arrest required for aortic repair.
