“…9 The only documented large series reported a 15% incidence of postoperative CCA dissection with the majority of cases showing no progression and patients remaining asymptomatic during a 2-year follow-up by carotid ultrasound. 12 However, the present patient suffered a major stroke caused by right ICA occlusion 30 days after surgical repair. We were disinclined to reconstruct the right CCA because of the occlusion, and the left CCA dissection with extension to the branch was considered at high risk for malperfusion syndrome.…”

“…An aortic root operation was necessary in three additional patients (12%) and three others required a complete arch replacement (12%). The median durations of circulatory arrest, cross clamp, and cardiopulmonary bypass were 23 [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], 93 [67. , and 182 [164-208] minutes, respectively ( Table 2).…”

“…Patients with malperfusion had longer hospital lengths of stay {20 vs. 12 [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] days, P=0.006}, as well as more reoperations for postoperative hemorrhage (24.0% vs. 5.6%, P=0.01) and a greater number of postoperative CNS events (44.0% vs. 18.3%, P=0.01).…”

“…3) Of patients who underwent surgical repair, such as the Bentall procedure, 15%-51% have been reported to have residual carotid artery dissection that frequently involves the right side. 3,8) Zielinski et al 9) observed dissection extension to the carotid artery in 15 (15%) of 97 survivors after surgery for aortic dissection but no late neurological abnormalities in any survivor. On the other hand, Neri et al 10) observed residual carotid artery dissection in 42 of 137 patients after surgery for aortic dissection and late neurological events occurred in 13 (30.9%), recommending strict follow-up.…”
