J Card Surg. 2011 Mar;26(2):212-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8191.2011.01207.x. Epub 2011 Feb 20.

Abstract

Intraoperative aortic dissection is a rare but potentially fatal complication of cardiac surgery. In this report, we present a case of intraoperative aortic dissection that was complicated by intestinal ischaemia. The aorta was successfully repaired using both open and endovascular techniques.
