Successfully superior mesenteric artery stenting in operated type A aortic dissection complicated with delayed mesenteric malperfusion.

Here, we describe a case of a 61-year-old male patient with acute type A aortic dissection involving the ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending aorta, and the abdominal aorta down to the iliac bifurcation with evidence of left common iliac artery occlusion. Computed tomography angiography revealed progressive dissection into the superior mesenteric artery and left renal artery with no clinical signs of mesenteric ischemia. Emergent ascending aortic reconstruction of the dissected aorta relieves the leg ischemia.
