Management of vital organ malperfusion in acute aortic dissection: proposal of a mechanism-specific approach.
We report our strategy for malperfusion accompanying acute aortic dissection, especially that involving the abdominal organs, which is based on the mechanism and includes percutaneous management. ⋯ Central aortic operation or fenestration is effective for aortic-type malperfusion, whereas the branch type may require stenting or bypass grafting.
