A fatal complication following hybrid total arch replacement with supra-aortic artery translocation and endovascular stenting.
This case highlights the successful management of acute Type B dissection complicated by visceral malperfusion. Even though the procedure of hybrid supra-aortic translocation and endovascular stenting corrected the malperfusion, it is important for vigilant CT scan surveillance for the post operative complications which can occur with this procedure.
