Abstract

We report advantages of a temporary mesenteric perfusion method for bowel ischemia with acute type A aortic dissection. The perfusion catheter was inserted from the branch of the superior mesenteric artery. This technique was found to be useful in certain cases that require prompt visceral organ perfusion and proximal aortic repair, which enabled a simultaneous treatment for both lesions and a blood pressure evaluation.
