Abstract
Abstract Background Aortic dissection is a tear in the inner layer of the aortic wall, which allows blood to enter into the wall of the aorta, creating a new passage for blood, known as the false lumen. The indications for surgical approach in aortic dissections Stanford A and DeBakey I and II are widely recognised and accepted, but little is known that in certain cases of Stanford A, DeBakey type I or type II aortic dissection patients who meet the eligibility criteria, endovascular repair can be performed. Case Illustration A 36-year-old woman came with a chief complaint of acute stabbed pain, she was known to have Concomitant DeBakey type II and IIIb aortic dissection, severe aortic regurgitation, and Marfan Syndrome. Because of her condition, we decided to conduct an open surgical repair with Bentall Procedure that was planned to be followed by an elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The Bentall procedure was a success and the patient’s clinical condition improved each day. Conclusion In concomitant DeBakey type II and IIIb aortic dissection cases, especially in those who have an underlying condition such as Marfan Syndrome, the Bentall procedure is the treatment of choice. In conditions when surgical procedure cannot be done, a hybrid approach of open surgery and TEVAR may provide a valuable alternative for patients.
