Unlike plaque rupture, the role of plaque erosion in the formation of healed plaques and subsequent flow-limiting coronary stenoses is less certain.

Endovascular arterial recanalization has become the mainstay therapy for peripheral arterial occlusive disease.

Background: Transoesophageal echocardiography is rarely reported as a possible cause of aortic dissection during the transcatheter edge-to-edge repair procedure. Herein, we present a case of type B aortic dissection following the transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair procedure, most likely related to the transoesophageal echocardiography probe.

Rationale: Spinal cord ischemia injury is a serious complication after intra-aortic surgery, with a low incidence but high disability rate.

Therefore, active neurological intervention is needed to protect and prevent spinal cord ischemia during and after surgery.
