A case is reported of a 65-year-old man operated on to relieve obstruction of the left common carotid and left subclavian arteries due to a dissecting aneurysm. At operation the obstruction was found to be due to detachment of the intima from the ascending aorta followed by intussusception into the distal aortic arch. Surgical correction consisted in resection of the ascending aorta and aortic arch and replacement with a Dacron graft. Certain technical aspects of the operation were considered important in achieving a successful outcome.

Four cases with unusual aortic dissection found unexpectantly at the time of operation, and their aortographic and anatomic findings and surgical treatment are described. One of the patients had a type I aortic dissection with intimo-intimal intussusception and another had a type I dissection with one portion of the intimal wall unidentifiable up to the origin of the innominate artery. One patient had a type III dissecting aneurysm with retrograde dissection into the aortic arch and ascending aorta, and the fourth patient had a dissecting aneurysm involving the ascending aorta and the innominate, right common carotid, and right vertebral arteries with a re-entry at the aortic arch.

A circumferential aortic dissection with so-called intimo-intimal intussusception is a very rare complication of a dissecting aneurysm, in which the sock-like intimal flap is upended in the true lumen by the blood stream. The few cases reported thus far are based on radiological or intraoperative findings in acute dissections. The present postmortem study documents the very rare case of long-term survival of a chronic circumferential dissection with intimo-intimal intussusception.
