Abstract
An 86-year-old male with multiple medical comorbidities was referred for an elective transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for severe symptomatic aortic stenosis with an ejection fraction of 35%. A self-expanding valve was deployed successfully, but intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) confirmed an acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), necessitating immediate intervention. Multiple intraoperative imaging modalities were utilized for deployment of a conformable GORE TAG (cTAG) stent graft for thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). This case demonstrates TEVAR as an effective, minimally invasive option for immediate repair of ATAAD as a complication of TAVR in a high-risk surgical patient.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
