We report a case of acute liver ischemia resulting in liver failure that occurred due to celiac trunk occlusion by an aortic dissection. A 53-year-old patient presented with clinical signs of acute abdomen. He underwent an urgent laparotomy, which revealed a splenic infarction and thrombosis of the celiac artery all the way to the porta hepatis. Imaging showed that an acute thoracoabdominal aortic dissection was present, resulting in compression of the celiac trunk. The aorta was repaired with an intervascular graft; however, an acute insufficiency of the liver ensued, and the patient was urgently transplanted. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of vascular compromise of the liver due to acute aortic dissection that would require liver transplantation.

Although open repair remains the mainstream treatment for aortic arch dissection, its surgical complexity and perioperative complications are significant. We developed a novel stentgraft system for less-invasive endovascular aortic arch repair. We successfully performed a total percutaneous transfemoral endovascular repair of aortic arch dissection using a novel off-the-shelf endograft system.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect of a subspecialty standardized temperature management process in a hybrid surgery for treating acute aortic dissection.
Methods: From January 2020 to June 2021, 102 patients who underwent hybrid surgery for acute aortic dissection in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Huai'an First People's Hospital were selected as the control group, receiving routine temperature maintenance measures. From August 2021 to November 2022, 105 similar patients from the same hospital were enrolled in the experimental group, where a subspecialty standardized temperature management process was implemented.

Purpose: Acute abdominal aortic dissection (AD) is a serious disease. Early detection based on ultrasound (US) can improve the prognosis of AD, especially in emergency settings. We explored the ability of deep learning (DL) to diagnose abdominal AD in US images, which may help the diagnosis of AD by novice radiologists or non-professionals.
