We report an alternative approach to revascularization of the leg in a patient with acute type A aortic dissection, where other options were not feasible. An aorto‐femoral extra‐anatomic conduit was used to salvage the leg after major aortic surgery where further surgery or endovascular grafting would have lead to increased morbidity.
