Abstract

Acute aortic dissection type A is an urgent condition that requires a surgical treatment. Especially in patientswith Marfan syndrome and severe Pectus excavatum, the surgery could be more complicated and life-threatening. Among these, we reported a successful left anterior trap-door thoracostomy approach for urgency modified Bentall’s operation without operation for Pectus excavatum and no complication was found.
