Acute thoracic aorta dissection is one the most dangerous pathology of aorta. If left untreated, is associated with high mortality.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment improves outcomes. Miniinvasive procedures give the opportunity to plan the
hybrid approach. In this way, all the advantages and opportunities of chosen methods can be used, minimising their complications.
Multidisciplinary cooperation during the whole process of treatment, including out-patient care is crutial. Doing so
