ABSTRACT
An aortopulmonary artery fistula combined with aortic and pulmonary artery dissection is extremely rare, and very few cases have been reported to date. Herein, we present a 38-year-old man with huge ascending aortic, arch and thoraco-abdominal aneurysms with chronic aortic dissection, pulmonary artery dissection and aortopulmonary fistula. Surgery was performed to replace the ascending aorta and the entire arch combined with a conventional elephant trunk implantation to correct the pulmonary artery dissection and repair the aortopulmonary fistula under selective cerebral perfusion with deep hypothermic circulatory arrest. The patient recovered uneventfully. A second-stage operation will be needed to replace the thoraco-abdominal aorta.
