We report a 62-year-old woman who was scheduled for an elective Tirone David valve sparing aortic root replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass. Within the next few hours, the patient developed bilateral acute ischemia of both lower limbs. A thoracic and abdominopelvic computed tomography scan showed acute Type A aortic dissection with a perforation at the brachiocephalic arterial trunk and a complete malperfusion of the inferior mesenteric and iliac arteries.
