A 77-year-old woman with Stanford type A acute aortic dissecting aneurysm was successfully treated by the sutureless technique using arringed intraluminal graft. A month after the operation, re-dissection to the distal abdominal aorta occurred. Because of the poor condition of the patient and her great age, we chose an antihypertensive therapy instead of a reoperation. Two years after the operation this patient leads a sound life without any symptoms. In a case of acute aortic dissection of the aged, special consideration may be allowed to a surgical method and a decision-making for a reoperation.
