    Case report: Multi-site perfusion strategy for type A acute aortic dissection complicated with cerebral malperfusion
    (2023) Besa, Santiago; Castelli, Fiorenza; Garrido-Olivares, Luis; Gonzalez, Rodrigo; Marine, Leopoldo; Becker, Pedro
    Acute type A dissection presenting with cerebral malperfusion has high morbidity and mortality. Given the complexity of underlying vascular involvement, it is a challenging clinical scenario. Many of these patients are not deemed surgical candidates. If surgery is considered, it often requires complex aortic arch and neck vessel reconstruction. We present a 48-year-old male with an acute type A aortic dissection that presented with paraplegia and decreased level of consciousness. A Computed Tomography showed occlusion of both common carotid arteries. He was successfully treated with a multi-site perfusion strategy and a Hybrid Frozen Elephant Trunk graft to achieve fast restoration of the cerebral circulation and minimize brain ischemia and permanent neurological damage. From this case, we learn that aggressive arch and neck vessel reconstruction supported by multi-site perfusion could help improve mortality and neurological outcomes in selected patients.

    Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for tuberculosis pneumonia with empyema
    (2021) Besa, Santiago; Morales, Alvaro J.; Salas, Patricio; Bravo M, Sebastian; Garrido-Olivares, Luis
    Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (TB) is a rare entity. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy had been used as an effective therapy for this cases, but the evidence is scarce. We present a case that took place in the middle of SARS-CoV2 pandemic. A 33-year-old female presented with ARDS due to pulmonary TB infection (pneumonia with empyema and pneumothorax), which required invasive mechanical ventilation with poor response. Long term veno-arterio-venous (VAV) ECMO, overlapped with veno-venous ECMO, was used as a salvage therapy with a good response for a total of 26 days. This is an example of the effectiveness of this therapy in this scenario, never described before. The fact that this therapy was used in the middle of SARS-CoV2 pandemic, with limited resources available, was remarkable, but it was encouraged by previous successful experiences.

    Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation as A Bridge to Surgery in Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Defect with Cardiogenic Shock: Case Report
    (2023) Besa, Santiago; Walbaum, Jonathan; Gonzalez, Rodrigo; Baraona, Fernando; Garrido-Olivares, Luis
    We describe a 60-year-old woman with post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal defect (VSD) and cardiogenic shock who was successfully stabilized with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) as a bridge therapy for the surgical closure of her VSD. This case highlights the role of VA-ECMO in the management of post-MI VSD to improve the results of surgical repair and patient survival.
