Acute type A thoracic aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires rapid diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention. Prior cardiac surgery is recognized as a predisposing risk factor. Here, we report a rare case and successful surgical repair of a late presenting acute type A thoracic aortic dissection four years after a three-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting. Resection of the aortic valve and aneurysmal tissue was required, reconstruction was done with a composite graft, and the native coronary ostia and aorto-saphenous buttons were preserved.

Progressive dilatation of the false lumen in the arch and descending aorta has been encountered in one-third of survivors as a late sequelae following repair of ascending aortic dissection. Conventional treatment for the same requiring cardiopulmonary bypass and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest is associated with high morbidity and mortality especially in the elderly cohort of patients. Herein we report a case of symptomatic progressive aneurysmal dilatation of residual arch and descending thoracic aortic dissection following repair of type A aortic dissection, successfully treated by total arch debranching and ascending aortic prosthesis to bicarotid and left subclavian bypass followed by staged retrograde aortic stent-graft deployment. This case report with relevant review of the literature highlights this clinical entity and the present evidence on its appropriate management strategies. Close surveillance is mandatory following surgical repair of type A aortic dissection and hybrid endovascular procedures seem to be the most dependable modality for salvage of patients detected to have progression of residual arch dissection.
