The extension of aortic dissection into common carotid arteries can cause thrombus formation in false lumen. This may result in perioperative cerebral malperfusion and stroke. At present there are no specific management guidelines in this situation. We report our experience of operative and non-operative management of thrombosis of carotid arteries in type A acute aortic dissection in 3 patients.
