Abstract
We treated two cases of enlargement of ulcer-like projections in the descending thoracic aorta, which were recognized after emergency graft replacement from the ascending aorta to the aortic arch for acute type A aortic dissection. The intimal tear, which was near the left subclavian artery, was resected during the initial operation. Graft replacement of the descending thoracic aorta was successful.
