Abstract:
Aortic dissection during cardiopulmonary bypass for aortic aneurysm surgery is a rare complication. If unrecognized in early time, it would be a fatal consequence. Neurological sequelae remain a well-recognized complication of cardiac surgery. Monitoring of cerebral oxygenation may be a useful technique for identifying vulnerable periods for the development of neurological injury. We report the experience of the decreasing left radial blood pressure and left rSO2 which caused by retrograde aortic dissection during the ascending aortic aneurysm replacement surgery.
