Aortic dissection associated with congenital aortic coarctation is a rarely seen pathology. There are one or two-stage surgical approaches for the management of this complicated condition. A 21-year-old male patient who was admitted with this clinical presentation to our clinic underwent emergent supracoronary tubular graft replacement with the diagnosis of type 2 aortic dissection and aortic coarctation repair at two months following discharge.
