Description
Summary:	Acute type A thoracic aortic dissection is a life-threatening condition that requires rapid diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention. Prior cardiac surgery is recognized as a predisposing risk factor. Here, we report a rare case and successful surgical repair of a late presenting acute type A thoracic aortic dissection four years after a three-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting. Resection of the aortic valve and aneurysmal tissue was required, reconstruction was done with a composite graft, and the native coronary ostia and aorto-saphenous buttons were preserved.
