Aortic Dissection in a Case of Peripartum Cardiomyopathy

Management of acute Type A aortic dissection can be complicated by patient comorbidities. We describe the case of a 29-year-old female with preexisting peripartum cardiomyopathy who developed a Type A dissection. Surgery was performed and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was i...

description Management of acute Type A aortic dissection can be complicated by patient comorbidities. We describe the case of a 29-year-old female with preexisting peripartum cardiomyopathy who developed a Type A dissection. Surgery was performed and venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was instituted. She left hospital on the 71st postoperative day. It is extremely rare for a patient with cardiomyopathy to develop an aortic dissection. Deferring this patient's surgery to an ECMO center was crucial for her survival.
