This study describes our experiences with a 44-year-old woman who developed acute type B aortic dissection and elected emergency surgery 3 years after a renal transplant. This led to acute ischemia in the right lower extremity. The first stage of surgery was to implant an extra-anatomic (pretracheal) bypass with a GORE-TEX prosthesis from the brachiocephalic trunk to the left common carotid artery. The second stage was implanting a stent graft into the aortic arch that covered the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery. The third stage was to insert a stent graft that involved the entire thoracic aorta and proximal segment of the abdominal aorta to the celiac trunk, with the right axillary and left femoral approach. The fourth stage was an extra-anatomic (suprapubic) bypass with the GORE-TEX prosthesis from the left femoral artery to the right femoral artery. Surgery resulted in normal blood supply to the organs and restored renal function.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.
