The complex nature of reoperative ascending and thoracic aortic surgery requires creative solutions to protect vital organs during extended periods of ischemia. The case is presented of a Type A dissection in a young man who previously had undergone two aortic coarctation repairs via a posterior pericardial, ascending-to-descending, extra-anatomic aortic bypass. A step-by-step review of the planning, operative repair, and outcome is described.
