It is known that bicuspid aortic valve with dilatation of the ascending aorta is one of risk factors of the aortic dissection. A case of acute aortic dissection (DeBakey type-II) associated with bicuspid aortic valve who underwent successfully operation 8 hours after onset is reported. This patient went into cardiogenic shock because of cardiac tamponade and aortic valve regurgitation immediately after onset. Aortic valve and the ascending aorta were replaced using composite graft (#23 SJM prosthetic aortic valve and 26 mm woven Dacron vascular graft) combined with coronary artery reconstruction by Cabrol's technique. Aortic valve showed bicuspid and histological examination revealed cystic medionecrosis and loss of elastic fiber. Postoperative course was uneventful and this patients is doing well 3 years after the operation.
