• Disclosures : None
History• 46 yo female• History of uncontrole hypertension
and active smoking (>10 /d)• Abrupt onset (4 hours before admission)
– Chest pain– Unstable hemodynamic
• BP 88/35, HR 125 t/min, CVP 22• ECG : st elevation in lead II, III, aVF
• Lab : elevated D dimer level• Echo : RV hypokinetic, RA RV compression, Severe AI,
pericardial effusions
Operation Strategy
• Dissect all dissecting segment
• Elephant trunk insertion & arch replacement (4branched graft)
• Aortic valve & Root replacement (Mod Bentall)(composite graft)
• SVG to RCA

Operation Strategy• Femoral & Bicaval Cannulation
• Retrograde CPG LCA Osteal SVG LAD
• LV venting
• Antegrade Selective Cerebral Perfusion-> Retrograde
• Systemic / Head cooling (DHCA)
Operative Finding• Hemopericardium, 850cc• Enlargement, bluish & hematoma of proximal
aorta & RVA ostium area• Intimal tear from aortic root to distal aortic arch
incl inominate artery. • Prolapse of All Aortic valve leaflets• Collapse RCA ostium
• Coagulopathy
• CPB weaning difficulties– Pump failure (RV mci)– Exc vasodilatation– IABP– SVG to LCX
• Coagulopathy

Acute type A aortic dissection • The incidence of aortic dissection 5 to 30 cases per million
people per year,
• requires immediate surgical intervention • can be complicated by pericardial tamponade and malperfusion
(coronary, cerebral, renal, limb)
• the overall mortality in type A dissection was almost 3 times higher in the group with malperfusion (45- 66%) than with no malperfusion (15 – 22%%).

Problems• Unstable pre op hemodinamik
– Preop optimized?• Myocardial infarction
– Heparin?• Myocardial protection
– All coronary perfusion?• CPB weaning difficulties
– Assist device– Excessive vasodilatation
• Coagulopathies– Effect on bypass graft

Pericardial Tamponade
• cardiac tamponade complicating acute aortic dissection is associated with a high early mortality
• Performing pericardiocentesis may instead precipitate hemodynamic collapse and death
• it should be considered a surgical emergency, and pericardiocentesis should be avoided while every effort is be made to proceed as urgently as possible to the operating room

Coronary Malperfusions
CONCLUSION•Acute type A aortic dissection complicated with pericardial tamponade and coronary malperfusion is a devastating event. It is associated with a high early mortality and extremely high mortality rate over the first 24 to 48 hours
•In tamponade, pericardiocentesis should be avoided
•In patients with coronary malperfusion, most patients received CABG and ascending / root aortic replacement because of its simplicity
