Purpose. The optimal surgical strategy of aortic root in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) is controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of “Sleeve” sinus Valsalva repair for AAD limited to the non-coronary sinus or partial left and right coronary sinus without involvement coronary artery ostia. Methods: From Sep 2016 to Mar 2019, 20 patients with AAD involving non-coronary sinus or partial left and right coronary sinus Valsalva underwent “Sleeve” sinus Valsalva repair . Multi slice spiral computed tomography angiography (MSCT) and three dimensional reconstruction were routinely performed in all patients to assess the maximal diameters of each segment of the aorta. Results. There was no early death in hospital and one death during the 30-day postoperative period. Re-thoracotomy due to bleeding was necessary in only 1 patient and no bleeding was related to the proximal anastomosis. The post-operative drainage was 390.5±229.3mL. During the following-up, the echocardiography showed the normal sinus of Valsalva and aortic valvular function. The computed tomography angiography showed normal aortic root without endovascular leak or dissection around the sinus of Valsalva. All patients were free from reoperation. Conclusions. “Sleeve” sinus Valsalva repair with Dacron patch for aortic dissection limited to the non-coronary sinus or partial left and right coronary sinus without involvement coronary artery ostia was technically feasible and safe.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of acute coronary syndrome particularly among young women. Although coronary angiogram (CAG) is the gold standard exam for the diagnosis, SCAD may be missed by CAG alone. Our case series illustrates the adjunctive role of cardiac computed tomography angiography (cCTA) to CAG in ascertaining the diagnosis of SCAD. Three young women were admitted with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. CAG showed no significant coronary artery stenosis. In two patients, cCTA performed after CAG revealed an intramural hematoma compressing the coronary lumen. In one patient, SCAD was initially misdiagnosed as Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and cCTA performed 1 month later allowed to make the correct diagnosis of SCAD assessing the spontaneous healing of the dissected vessel.
