title: Unusual modification of the cabrol shunt for control of hemorrhage in acute type a aortic dissection.
abstract: A patient with acute Type A dissection required complex root repair with composite graft. She developed life-threatening hemorrhage at the root of the aorta, which could not be controlled with usual measures. A modification of the original Cabrol shunt allowed for successful control of bleeding.
