Aortic dissection involving a right-sided aortic is a rare condition. A 50-year-old man with a history of poorly controlled hypertension was admitted with severe retrosternal pain. Computed tomographic scan showed a Stanford type B aortic dissection from the right aortic arch to the right descending aorta. As there was no indication for emergency surgical treatment, he received medical treatment to lower his systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mmHg, after which the chest pain subsided. He was discharged 2 weeks later with antihypertensive medications. There were no major complications after ten months of follow-up. We reviewed 25 similar cases reported in the literature. Although there are some differences in racial distribution, morphology, and complications, the treatment strategy for aortic dissection in a normal left aortic arch is applicable to those in a right aortic arch.
