Abstract:
Development of intraoperative aortic dissection during coronary artery bypass surgery is extremely rare with catastrophic outcomes resulting in high rates of morbidity and mortality. The prognosis is highly dependant upon prompt diagnosis and emergent treatment. We report our experience on a 72 year old female patient who successfully received ascending aortic graft replacement for acute intraoperative aortic dissection during coronary artery bypass procedure.
