Stanford Type A aortic dissection is a life-threatening disease. A 46-year-old female patient with Stanford Type A aortic dissection was successfully treated by placing a stent-graft into the ascending aorta via femoral artery. No complication was found immediately after the operation. Bentall operation was performed to treat the development of severe aortic insufficiency 21 months after the stent-grafting procedure. Literature review was done to discuss the possibility of using endoluminal stent placement to treat Stanford Type A aortic dissection.
