Popis: A Stanford Type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening surgical emergency that requires emergent surgery. The mortality after repair is high especially if the aortic dissection is complicated by visceral or peripheral malperfusion. We describe a case of a male patient who presented with an aortic dissection involving the ascending aorta, aortic arch, descending thoracic and the abdominal aorta up to the iliac bifurcation. The dissection also involved the visceral and renal arteries with evidence of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) occlusion. Successful outcome was achieved by endovascular stenting of his SMA, followed by Bental procedure. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case report in English literature of SMA stenting followed by Bental procedure to treat acute type A aortic dissection complicated by SMA occlusion.
