Abstract

Surgical treatment of Type-A acute aortic dissection is associated with high mortality and morbidity. One of the reasons is perioperative bleeding, which may lead to worse outcomes. We present a case of successful treatment of a patient with 18-litre perioperative blood loss in DeBakey Type-I acute aortic dissection with drug-induced hypocoagulation and malperfusion of a lower extremity.
