Abstract
Chronic dissection of thoracic aorta is the subject of cardiac surgery and its treatment is burdened with high mortality and morbidity. The procedure of endoluminal stent graft placement in a 53-year-old male patient with an 8 cm wide false lumen is presented. Two stent grafts of 148 and 94 mm in length, both 44 mm in diameter, were applied. The surgical procedure lasted 6 hours. Thrombosis of the false lumen was registered perioperatively. The postoperative period proceeded without serious complications.
