126 * extra-anatomic revascularisation for distal occlusion of the left or right common carotid artery in acute type a aortic dissection with cerebral malperfusion

Conclusion: Extra-anatomic bypass for distal LCCA or RCCA occlusion presents a valuable bail-out technique to restore cerebral perfusion during AADA repair, potentially reducing the increased incidence of neurological complications in patients with cerebral malperfusion.
