Abstract

A 79-year-old woman was referred to undergo surgery for a type A dissection. The patient had a history of previous coronary artery bypass. She was in shock and had a hematoma surrounding the ascending aorta and the heart. In this case, a coronary sinus cardioplegia cannula was placed under a short period of circulatory arrest via a small atriotomy, and the atriotomy was closed immediately to establish selective cerebral perfusion.
