[Total replacement of both carotid arteries combined with ascending aorta and aortic arch replacement for acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection].

Involvement of supra-aortic vessels into acute DeBakey type I aortic dissection is a significant predictor of adverse postoperative neurological outcomes and mortality. The choice of surgical tactics remains open in such patients. We present total replacement of both common carotid arteries and proximal part of the right subclavian artery with reconstruction of ascending aorta and aortic arch for acute DeBakey type I dissection.
