AbstractWe present the case of a 53-year-old man with renal and bilateral limb ischemia due to Stanford B aortic dissection. The thrombosis of the false lumen had progressed and compressed the true lumen, developing renal and leg ischemia. Urgent graft replacement of the infrarenal abdominal aorta with proximal fenestration was successfully performed and the patient was discharged without complications.
