Description
István Gecse and co-authors report emergency heart surgery that saved a man's native aortic valve during a lethal tear, in a case report from 2026. The tear, an acute Stanford type A dissection, ran from the aortic root to the split between the legs. It also caused severe valve leakage and cut blood flow to the right leg.
The patient, aged 52, had valve-sparing root replacement with the David method plus a zone 2 arch rebuild. The work used cooled body arrest of circulation with blood flow kept to the brain. Scans during surgery showed the valve worked well with only a trace leak. After a brief setback and a recheck with no bleeding found, he recovered and went home on day eleven.
