Endovascular stent graft repair of type B dissection is a new and alternative treatment to the surgical or medical therapy. This technique is not free from minor or major complications and we herein report the case of a patient who developed a retrograde dissection after endovascular stent graft placement. The emergent surgical treatment undertaken consisted of ascending aorta replacement without treating the arch in account of the presence of the endoluminal prosthesis.

Abstract
Endovascular stent graft repair of type B dissection is a new and alternative treatment to the surgical or medical therapy. This technique is not free from minor or major complications and we herein report the case of a patient who developed a retrograde dissection after endovascular stent graft placement. The emergent surgical treatment undertaken consisted of ascending aorta replacement without treating the arch in account of the presence of the endoluminal prosthesis.
