Malperfusion syndrome (MPS) is associated with the highest mortality and major morbidity risk in patients with acute Type A aortic dissection (TAAD). The timing of the open proximal aortic repair in the presence of MPS remains debatable given variability in clinical presentation and different local treatment algorithms. This paper provides an up to date and comprehensive overview of published outcomes and available techniques for addressing malperfusion in the setting of acute TAAD.
