We present a patient with Stanford type A aortic dissection with malperfusion of the left kidney and lower extremity, and rupture of a common iliac artery aneurysm. After establishing lower extremity reperfusion using a percutaneous femorofemoral shunt in the emergency room, simultaneous open aortic arch repair and open abdominal aorta repair were performed. Our approach allowed concomitant repair of proximal dissection, limb ischemia, and iliac artery aneurysm rupture, all of which are critical predictors of mortality.
