[HSF] [Fwd: approach to arch and carotid arteries for dissection or multiple aneurysmas]

[Tea Acuff]

Roberto,
Whow!
How many of these do you have to do to get to a nice result. My problem is that just a simple repair (old time standard therapy) of the ascending tear without any concern of the distal tears is now done with relatively low mortality by most surgeons. Does this "fix it all" approach hurt some who would be saved for a later day by a less vigous approach?

Here is Roberto's Image.(Incidentally I have a copy filed away sent to 
me by him months ago)

Dear Prasanna,

one of the members asked for this photo, which is my idea how to operate 
a Type A with dissected carotids. This case is a multiple aneurysma 
case, not a Type A.
Look at the prolongued incision in the neck.

Roberto
