title: [A case of acute retrograde type I dissecting aneurysm of aorta underwent three operations].
abstract: A 54-year-old man with an acute retrograde type I dissecting aneurysm of the aorta underwent three operations for four years. The first operation was by the Collins method, the second was a graft replacement of the descending aorta, and the third involved a graft replacement of the ascending aorta and aortic arch, revascularization of the aortic branches and replacement of the aortic valve. In operations on acute retrograde type I dissecting aneurysms of the aorta, the methods of Koster or Collins are in appropriate in cases where sufficient entry treatment is impossible, and graft replacement of the ascending aorta at least is considered to be necessary.
