Abstract We report a case of a patient who had a type A aortic dissection after previous coronary bypass grafting. The in‐situ right mammary artery had been anastomosed with the left anterior descending artery, the left mammary artery had been anastomosed to the obtuse marginal, and a vein graft had been used for the right coronary artery. All grafts were patent. The patients underwent a Bentall procedure on perfused heart . (J Card Surg 2010;25:330‐332)
