“Collared Anastomosis” Technique Used in Arch Replacement Combined with Frozen Elephant Trunk Implantation Procedure for Giant Arch and Thoracic Aorta Dilatation
Correspondence To the Editor: We report two cases of arch replacement combined with frozen elephant trunk implantation procedure using the collared anastomosis technique for giant arch and thoracic aorta dilatation. A 62‑year‑old hypertensive female patient was admitted because of endoleak after thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR). The patient underwent TEVAR procedure because of Stanfo...
متن کاملDistal aortic surgery following arch replacement with a frozen elephant trunk.
OBJECTIVE The frozen elephant trunk technique allows the repair of concomitant aortic arch and proximal descending aortic pathology in a single stage by using a hybrid prosthesis consisting of a vascular graft with a distal stented end. There are patients, however, who will require a second distal operation despite this new technique due to progression of their aortic disease. It has been uncle...
متن کاملDebranching of the arch in aortic aneurysms.
We read with interest the surgical approach of Kondoh et al. [1] for the treatment of the distal arch aneurysm. They performed the elephant trunk procedure with undersized grafts instead of using the frozen elephant trunk technique with 10–20% oversized stent grafts. One month postoperative the residual ‘endoleak’ was 14% in Group 1, and 67% in Group 2. They performed an additional procedure in...
متن کاملElephant trunk procedure 27 years after Borst: what remains and what is new?
The treatment of complex aortic pathology involving both the ascending and descending aortic segments at the same time represents a surgical challenge, with high postoperative morbidity and mortality rates reported. Over the past 27 years, different open surgical and endovascular techniques have been introduced and applied in various two-stage- or one-stage approaches to such cases. Thus, in 19...
متن کاملTotal aortic arch replacement with a novel four-branched frozen elephant trunk graft: first-in-man results.
OBJECTIVES The combined disease of the aortic arch and the proximal descending aorta remains a surgical challenge. With the 'frozen elephant technique', the ascending aorta, along with the aortic arch, is replaced conventionally and an endovascular stent graft is placed into the descending aorta in the antegrade manner through the open aortic arch, thereby potentially allowing for a 'single-sta...
