In an interview filmed at the 2015 STS Annual Meeting, Joel Dunning and Joseph Coselli of the Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, have a conversation regarding Dr. Coselli's distinguished career and his special insights into the surgical treatment type A aortic dissection. Dr. Coselli discusses the diagnosis of type A aortic dissection, when and how to operate, and post-operative care.
Excellent vedio by Dr. Coselli, but i think there’s still some debates about the arch management, what’s the indication of replace the total arch? And is it necessary to insert a stent into the distal descending aorta during the first stage repair?
