Arch translocation and the intra-arch elephant-trunk technique with collared graft for extended chronic dissecting aortic aneurysm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Management of extensive, chronic, dissecting aortic aneurysms after prior repair of the ascending aorta presents a technical challenge for surgeons. A symptomatic 64-year-old patient was admitted for elective surgical repair of an aortic annular dilatation, causing severe aortic regurgitation, and a Crawford type II extended thoracoabdominal aneurysm, 4 years after he underwent primary repair of an acute aortic dissection. The aorta was diffusely dilated, and there were no sites beyond the distal aortic arch where anastomosis could be performed. We successfully performed total aortic replacement with a 2-stage strategy, using an arch translocation technique and an intra-arch elephant-trunk technique.

Aortic arch/elephant trunk procedure with Sienna(TM) graft and endovascular stenting of thoraco-abdominal aorta for treatment of complex chronic dissection.
Aneurismal dilatation of the remaining thoracic aorta after ascending aortic interposition grafting for type 'A' aortic dissection is not uncommon. For such complex cases, one treatment option is total arch replacement and elephant trunk procedure with the Sienna(TM) collared graft (Vascutek, Inchinnan, UK) technique followed by a staged thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The video il...

متن کاملProgress of the treatment for extended aortic aneurysms; is the frozen elephant trunk technique the next standard in the treatment of complex aortic disease including the arch?
Patients with extensive aortic aneurysms involving the ascending aorta, aortic arch, and the descending aorta are still considered to be a challenge for many cardiovascular surgeons. The introduction of the elephant trunk technique by Borst et al. in 1983 has greatly facilitated surgery on this kind of pathology and this technique has been recognized as a standard modality for treatment of exte...
متن کاملDistal repair using the frozen elephant trunk technique to treat an extended mycotic aneurysm of the aortic arch.
We reported successful distal repair using the frozen elephant trunk technique to treat a mycotic aneurysm extending from the ascending aorta to the descending aorta. A blood culture sample was positive for Escherichia coli, and total arch replacement with a rifampicin-bonded graft covered the omental pedicle flap.
متن کاملCombined valve-sparing root replacement and total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk.
We report a case of simultaneous repair of an extensive thoracic aortic aneurysm from the aortic root to the distal aortic arch. A 54-year-old male had annuloaortic ectasia and a transverse aortic and distal arch aneurysm. Aneurysms of the descending aorta and the abdominal aorta were also demonstrated. The patient underwent aortic valve-sparing root reconstruction, replacement of the aortic ar...
