Percutaneous mesenteric stenting followed by laparoscopic exploration for visceral malperfusion in acute type B aortic dissection.

A 55-year-old man underwent percutaneous mesenteric and left renal stenting for malperfusion in acute type B aortic dissection. Laparoscopic exploration was performed immediately after percutaneous revascularization to ensure the integrity of the abdominal viscera. Because the diagnosis of mesenteric infarction may sometimes be difficult and its delay can be fatal, we advocate laparoscopic exploration as a mini-invasive method after percutaneous management of visceral malperfusion, if the integrity of the abdominal viscera needs to be verified.

Auscultatory bedside tests for thoracic aortic disease.

Auscultation for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections is largely limited to listening to praecordium, neck and axillae associated with disease located at the ascending aorta and root, typically overlooking the descending thoracic aorta. We report a new test and protocol for differentiating aortic root and descending aortic disease by adding auscultation over the back as part of the cardiovascular examination.
