The treatment strategy for acute type A aortic dissection consists of entry closure and maximal resection of the dissected aortic segment. In cases where the entry is located in the distal descending aorta, as in this case, entry closure is challenging, and surgery often involves only maximal resection of the dissected segment. The patient was a 53-year-old man who presented with sudden onset of chest pain. CT revealed a retrograde Stanford type A acute aortic dissection with a tear in the distal descending aorta. Preoperative measurements suggested that entry closure using frozen elephant trunk (FET) would be impossible. Surgery was performed with the goal of maximal resection of the dissected aortic segment in a hybrid operating room. The patient underwent total arch replacement (TAR) using FET. TEE revealed true lumen stenosis beyond the descending aorta, along with a decrease in lower limb blood pressure reducing blood flow to the abdominal branches. Therefore, emergency TEVAR was performed to achieve entry closure in the entire descending aorta. After TEVAR, the true lumen expanded, and perfusion to the lower limbs and abdominal branches improved. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 10.
