AbstractWe have experienced a rare case of Stanford type A thrombosed aortic dissection in association with true aortic arch aneurysm. A 73-year-old male with asymptomatic true aortic arch aneurysm had sudden onset of severe back pain. A through examination clarified that he had Stanford type A aortic dissection coexisting with true aneurysm. In operation, we found a tear on intima of the proxymal-part of the true aneurysm. Pathologically, dissection confined to the ascending aorta did not involve the true aneurysm. The replacement of ascending aorta and aortic arch was successfully accomplished. The combination of true aortic arch aneurysm and Stanford type A aortic dissection is rare bibliographically.
