Endovascular treatment methods are often preferred in suitable patients with complicated acute type B aortic dissection due to the high mortality and morbidity associated with the open surgical procedure. Retrograde aortic dissection is a rare complication of endovascular procedures. Herein, we reported surgical treatment of a retrograde aortic dissection that developed after thoracic endovascular aortic repair in a 53-year-old male patient with a history of liver transplantation two years ago and taking immunosuppressive medication.
