Late Post-Dissection Dynamic Intermittent Malperfusion of the Aortic Arch in Association with a Rare Heterogenous LOX Gene Variation.

Late ischaemic consequences of type A aortic dissection are rare. We present a 6-year late complication of type A aortic dissection treated by Bentall surgery in a 41-year-old patient.
