Abstract:
Thoracic endovascular aortic repair is a valuable alternative treatment option for patients with thoracic aortic aneurysms and type B dissections. However, thoracic endovascular aortic repair is associated with the risk of previously unanticipated severe complications including retrograde ascending aortic dissection. We report the case of an 86-year-old man who developed retrograde ascending aortic dissection as a delayed complication of thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Open surgical repair resulted in a successful outcome.
