ABSTRACT
The nuance of operative decision making for those in need of emergent operation during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is increasingly complex in the absence of robust data or guidelines. We present two cases of thoracic aortic emergencies with COVID-19 disease who survived high-risk operations to highlight the potential for successful outcomes even in situations compounding patient disease, morbid operation, and the added risk associated with virulent disease in the pandemic time.
