Retrograde Type a Aortic Dissection During Femoral Artery Cannulation
Abstract
We report a case of retrograde Type A aortic dissection (RAAD) occurring immediately after the initiation of cardiopulmonary bypass via right femoral cannulation for minimally invasive aortic valve replacement. The diagnosis was rapidly confirmed through multimodal monitoring, enabling successful surgical correction. This case highlights the critical importance of multimodal monitoring for the prompt detection and management of RAAD.
