Abstract:
A 38-year-old man underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair for impending rupture of acute type B aortic dissection. Computed tomography revealed abscess formation around the proximal descending aorta 4 weeks after endovascular treatment. He underwent one-stage total arch and descending aorta replacement and omental wrapping via left thoracotomy. At the 6-month follow-up, his postoperative course was uneventful.
