Surgical treatment for chronic type A aortic dissection and aortic regurgitation in a patient with a tracheostoma.

摘要

We successfully performed aortic root replacement and partial aortic arch replacement by a T-shaped sternotomy at the second intercostal space in a patient who had undergone tracheotomy for respiratory insufficiency and cardiac failure caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia during preservation treatment of chronic type A aortic dissection and aortic regurgitation.
