A 65-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with acute type B aortic dissection that extended into both common iliac arteries with an occluded right common iliac artery and large bullae in bilateral upper lung fields. Femoro-femoral arterial bypass surgery with an artificial blood vessel was performed. Two days postoperatively, acute type B aortic dissection progressed to acute type A aortic dissection. Emergency total arch graft replacement (TAR) was performed through a median sternotomy on the same day. Immediately following TAR, the patient experienced hypoxemia. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) was diagnosed following TAR for acute aortic dissection with pneumonia. Nitric oxide inhalation (NOI) therapy was commenced at 20 ppm from the fourth day post-surgery. However, 6 d following TAR, he developed bilateral pneumothorax due to ruptured bullae requiring chest tube management and thoracoscopic left upper lobe bullectomy. Eight days following TAR, veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) was initiated and NOI therapy was completed. V-V ECMO was withdrawn 18 d after TAR. Postoperatively, after 2 years 3 months, the patient remains ambulatory without assistance, walking to the outpatient clinic. |
