ABSTRACT
Endovascular stent graft placement in Stanford type B aortic dissection has increased as a result of the demonstration of its safety and efficacy. Despite the advantage of reduced mortality and morbidity, the mid-to long-term prognosis and possible complications associated with the procedure are a source of concern. Among the many possible complications, retrograde type A dissection after stent grafting for type B dissection is considered rare; however, this life-threatening event appears to be underrecognized. Here, we report a case that converted to open surgery due to a retrograde type A dissection after endovascular stent graft placement for a Stanford type B dissection. This is the first report of a retrograde type A dissection after endovascular stent graft placement in Korea.
