Summary:A 71-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of back pain. Chest CT scan showed so-called Stanford type A thrombosed aortic dissection. Aortography revealed no ulcer like projection. At first, conservative treatment was carried out. But about two hours later, he had another back pain. Repeat chest CT scan demonstrated an enlarged dissecting lumen, necessitating emergent graft replacement. Postoperative course was uneventful and he was discharged on the 33rd postoperative days.
