Unveiling the Enigma of Post-implantation Syndrome Following Aortic Dissection Repair: A Case Report

Post-implantation syndrome (PIS) is a frequent complication after aortic dissection repair surgery, posing significant risks to patient recovery and survival. We present a case report of a 62-year-old male who underwent aortic dissection repair surgery and developed PIS. The patient exhibited symptoms of fever, pain, and inflammation at the surgery site, along with increased levels of inflammatory markers. He was managed with a combination of anti-inflammatory medications, pain management, and antibiotics, which gradually improved symptoms over weeks. Our case highlights the importance of recognizing the potential for PIS in patients undergoing aortic dissection repair surgery and employing timely interventions to manage this condition.
