Dun Man Ho 480.mp4

Dun Man Ho Diss.mp4 (3D) The Ascending aorta is damaged and

very dilated, with shadow of the dis-
section flap visualized into the aortic
arch and descending aorta.

Emergency open replacement of the
ascending aorta and aortic valve (Ben-

tall operation) was performed success-
fully for this patient under cardiopul-
monary bypass.

Once the blood flow can be realigned
into the true lumen (which re-ex-
pands), the false lumen pressure may
often be neutrolized and the end
organ ischemic effect reversed.

In this patient his left lower limb is-
chemia improved after proximal aortic
surgery and no intervention was nec-
essary.
