Abstract
Cardiac or aortic surgeries requiring cardiopulmonary bypass in combination with patent ductus arteriosus in adults present a special problem that requires a tailored approach. We report a case of ruptured type A acute aortic dissection in a 73-year-old woman with patent ductus arteriosus. In this case, we highlight that transpulmonary direct ductus arteriosus closure and subsequent frozen elephant deployment with total arch replacement are reasonable and reliable treatments for type A acute aortic dissection in a patient with patent ductus arteriosus.
