title: Extra-anatomic aorto-femoral graft for acute limb ischemia after type a aortic dissection repair.
abstract: We report an alternative approach to revascularization of the leg in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection, where other options were not feasible. An aorto-femoral extra-anatomic conduit was used to salvage the leg after major aortic surgery where further surgery or endovascular grafting would have lead to increased morbidity.
