    Abstract:
    A 57-year-old man was admitted to our department with recent onset of chest pain. Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed an acute aortic syndrome manifested by a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer and contained rupture at the level of origin of an aberrant right subclavian artery. A combined vascular and endovascular approach was selected. The entire arch was rerouted, a reversed bifurcated Dacron prosthesis was placed, and a bypass was created between the right common carotid artery and the lusorian artery, followed by thoracic endovascular aortic repair. The clinical course was uneventful. The CT scan obtained after the procedure revealed regular supra-aortic perfusion and complete exclusion of the complex lesion.
