Surgical technique for acute retrograde type A aortic dissection after zone 2 TEVAR for complicated type B dissection in a 63‐year‐old patient

Patients suffering retrograde type A aortic dissection after TEVAR for type B dissection are at higher risk of mortality than their spontanous counterparts and the kind of optimal therapy remains obscure. We present a case of successful open surgical repair where distal open anastomosis was accomplished by cutting off the un‐covered stent portion and suturing a vascular prosthesis to the dissected distal aortic arch including the covered stent part. The clinical course was regular. Immediate and radical repair in the aortic arch may be the adequate response in such instances.
