2. Disclosure : none

3. Principle of Surgery
• Preventing the risk of dissection or rupture by
restoring the normal dimension of the aorta
• Entry tear Exclusion & False lumen thrombosis
• Pathology based level of surgery /
replacement

17. In the case of a normal tricuspid valve, without aortic
regurgitation or central regurgitation due to annular dilation, an
aortic valve-preserving technique should be performed

replacement should be performed

28. Extensive repair including graft replacement of the
ascending aorta and aortic arch and integrated
stent grafting of the descending aorta (‘frozen
elephant trunk') was introduced as a single-stage
procedure

especially when there is reluctance to expose patients to hypothermic
circulatory arrest;
Patients with the underlying diagnosis of acute Type B AD, the risk of
retrograde Type A AD as a direct consequence of the procedure is elevated

We feel that hybrid procedure
may be a valuable therapeutic
alternative when treating this
type of lesion. However, long-term
clinical efficacy and
safety have yet to be
confirmed.

43. The simple ‘clamp and sew’ technique may not be advisable
because the risk of post-operative neurological deficit,
mesenteric and renal ischaemia is significant when the aortic
cross-clamp procedure exceeds 30 minutes
