Department of Anesthesiology, Saiseikai Kumamoto Hospital, 5-3-1 Minami-Ku, Chikami Kumamoto, 861-4193, Japan.

Background: Management of acute aortic dissection (AAD) caused by retrograde perfusion through the femoral artery during minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) remains controversial. We present a case of AAD occurring during the late cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) phase, which was successfully managed by vascular graft replacement, without altering the blood supply route.

Case Presentation: A 63-year-old man was scheduled for totally endoscopic aortic valve replacement.

Vaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) is a novel minimal invasive technique which employs the vaginal orifice for surgical access, after which endoscopic instruments are introduced, thus obviating the need for any external skin incisions. This approach has gained traction as it is associated with reduced morbidity, improved cosmesis, lower pain scores and decreased length of hospital stay, with no increase in adverse events, when compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery. Initially limited to hysterectomy and adnexectomy, its role has now expanded to include indications such as urogynaecology, oncology and fertility.
