Combined surgical treatment in aortic type A dissection.
Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection is a fatal event that, for its high mortality when left untreated, requires urgent surgical intervention. The established treatment includes repair of the ascending aorta and various portions of the aortic arch, leaving the descending aorta untreated. We report the case of a 62-year-old man in whom a combined approach of the ascending aorta with surgical correction and transluminal placement of a stent in the aortic arch was performed.
