    Abstract:
    Median sternotomy near an existing tracheostoma risks deep sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery. We present herein a case of acute type A aortic dissection in a patient with a permanent tracheostoma after laryngectomy. Total arch replacement with both frozen elephant trunk and extra-anatomical bypass for supra-aortic trunks was performed through T-shaped partial sternotomy, resulting in recovery without deep sternal wound infection.
