A 72-year-old man presented with aneurysms of the distal aortic arch and the distal descending aorta due to chronic type B aortic dissection. We first performed thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) in the distal descending aorta, and the aneurysm was successfully excluded using a Gore Tag stentgraft. Seven days after TEVAR, computed tomography revealed retrograde type A aortic dissection occurring from the ascending aorta to the distal aortic arch. In emergency surgery, ascending aorta and total arch replacement were performed under selective cerebral perfusion with moderate hypothermia, and after coming off cardiopulmonary bypass, the distal aortic arch aneurysm was excluded using a Gore Tag stentgraft.
