Abstract
A 65-year-old man presenting with visceral malperfusion complicating acute type A aortic dissection underwent emergent surgery. Bypass grafting from the right common iliac artery to the superior mesenteric artery was performed prior to central aortic repair because intestinal ischemia caused hemodynamic instability. Subsequently, the ascending aorta was replaced with a Dacron graft under a condition of circulatory arrest with selective cerebral perfusion. Endotoxin adsorption was carried out intraoperatively in parallel with cardiopulmonary bypass to prevent postoperative end-organ failure. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged from our hospital 31 days after surgery.
