Agree with aortobifemoral bypass but mesenteric have to be revascularized either staged or during , if not you are asking for trouble particularly during perioperative period …
Assuming the patient is fit for open surgery. Could get away with an aortobifemoral bypass sewn infrarenal but with suprarenal clamping. Depending on how bad the mesenteric symptoms are, probably bypass off the graft to the SMA.
This guy right here @Nicholas_Hoell I sawprogress from medical student in NJ to integrated resident to partner now he is onto ct fellowship @upmc.. l could not be more proud . You will do great things and there is no doubt we will be partners once again ! Show em what you got

Mentorship evolves as your career evolves early on my chairman Edwin Deitch made me believe in academics followed by the guy who mentors me to this day Gregorio Sicard .. I am also blessed to have you @VascSurgMD and @drseanlyden as mentors in life
Mentorship is an invaluable gift in one’s career. Today I had the privilege to scrub on Jeff Carpenter’s last case 🥹( CEA). A master surgeon and friend. His impact on me and my career cannot be overstated. Who was that mentor for you ? #aortaed. @BavariaMd @FrankCaputoMD
Excited to welcome these two to Cleveland Clinic Vascular Surgery .. the future is bright

Agree Joe…identifying features of unstable dissections and using therapy to prevent the long term sequelae of TBAD is an absolute needed answer … we currently have a decent roadmap to better trials
The literature is scarce on my fronts with TBAD. But making an attempt to delineate prognostic features should be a main driver for future investigations. High risk features are an important first step in this process. IMO, The “crap” is usually personal bias …
