ABSTRACT
Acute Stanford A aortic dissection is a condition with a high mortality rate that requires timely diagnosis and surgical treatment. We present the case of a 58-year-old patient with Stanford A aortic dissection, who initially underwent supracoronary aortic replacement with woven dacron. Nine days later, aortic arch replacement and revascularization of the supra-aortic trunks were completed in a second operation. The clinical outcome was favorable.
