A 62-year-old female complained of easy fatigue and sore throat and chest computed tomography revealed acute type A aortic dissection with pericardial effusion and chronic type B aortic dissection that was on set in 2012.She had past history of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) 23 years ago and received steroid therapy since then. Blood examination showed inflammation reaction and slight disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. We underwent 2 stage operation safely. In 1st stage we performed ascending graft replacement to type A aortic dissection and in 2nd stage we carried out thoracic endovascular arterial replacement to type B aortic dissection. She had no complication like cerebral infarction and paraplegia postoperatively. It seemed to be rare for the patient in SLE complicated with acute type A and chronic type B aortic dissection and the cause of double aortic dissection was considered long steroid therapy. We carried out 2 stage operation by conventional surgery and endovascular treatment safely without any postoperative complication. We need medical follow up continuously to residual aneurysm.
