Successful management of iliofemoral and visceral malperfusion syndrome in acute type A aortic dissection with endovascular revascularization followed by delayed proximal aortic repair.

Acute type A aortic dissection with malperfusion syndrome is associated with high mortality. Despite having no consensus-based guidelines, we believe the "endovascular-first" approach should be undertaken. This report describes the successful management of iliofemoral and visceral malperfusion syndrome with endovascular revascularization followed by delayed proximal aortic repair after acute type A aortic dissection.

Aortic valve replacement in patients with amyloidosis.

Background: Outcome data on aortic valve replacement in patients with amyloidosis are limited. To address this issue, we reviewed our experience of patients with amyloidosis who underwent aortic valve replacement.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 16 patients with amyloidosis who underwent aortic valve replacement between May 2000 and February 2017.
