Late aortic dissection is a rare but serious complication associated with cardiac surgery. We report two cases of late aortic dissection that occurred after cardiac surgery. The management and review of the preoperative factors, which may predispose to this complication, are the subject of this case report. (J Card Surg 2011;26:506‐508)
