Background: Acute type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening clinical emergency that necessitates immediate surgical intervention with an estimated mortality rate of approximately 1-2% per hour. When complicated by malperfusion, the perioperative mortality rate is reported to be increased by up to 39%. Malperfusion can affect many vascular beds with varying incidence and severity, resulting in coronary, cerebral, visceral, peripheral, renal or spinal malperfusion.

Although generally a benign condition, it may lead to life-threatening intestinal obstruction, with or without volvulus, or to stercoral ulceration with enteritis and/or perforation. Two unusual cases of lethal chronic constipation are reported to demonstrate other very rare fatal mechanisms that may occur.

Article Synopsis
- Uterine arteriovenous malformations (UAVMs) are a rare cause of heavy bleeding after childbirth, often linked to placenta accreta spectrum (PAS).
- A case study highlighted a woman with PAS who experienced significant bleeding post-delivery and required several treatments, including uterine artery embolization, which proved effective.
- The study suggests that UAVMs may arise from residual PAS tissue and emphasizes the importance of preserving fertility while managing severe bleeding, avoiding more drastic measures like hysterectomy.
