  • Title: Left main coronary artery stenting prior to surgical repair of a type a aortic dissection.
    Author: Saxena P, Boyle A, Shetty S, Edwards M.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2011 Nov; 26(6):634-5. PubMed ID: 22122375.
    Abstract:
    Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) can be complicated by myocardial ischemia due to extension of the dissection into coronary artery or by extrinsic compression of a coronary artery by the false lumen. We present the successful surgical management of a hemodynamically unstable patient with acute aortic dissection with ongoing myocardial ischemia by stenting the left main system prior to the surgical repair of TAAD.
