Objective  To investigate the surgical treatment and results of coronary malperfusion due to acute Stanford A aortic dissection. Methods  The clinical data of 56 patients with coronary malperfusion due to type A aortic dissection, who were hospitalized and underwent operation between January 2009 and December 2016, were analyzed retrospectively. There were 39 males and 17 females at age of 26–73 (51.36±16.47) years. Results  The right coronary artery was involved in 48 patients, the left in 5 patients, and both coronary arteries in 3 patients. There were 12 patients with coronary bypass grafting, 19 patients with Cabrol’s operation, 25 patients coronary artery plasty. Twelve patients died postoperatively at mortality of 21.4%. Forty-four patients survived. The patients were followed up for 3 months to 3 years. No adverse event of cardiovascular happened. Conclusion  Stanford A aortic dissection with coronary involvement is associated with high mortality rate.Aggressive coronary revascularization is essential to salvage these critically ill patients. The method to reconstruct the involved coronary depends on the patients’ condition and experience of surgeon.
